I agree with others here....this one was an 88 when I first tasted it at HMCs tonight. However, after it had a few more hours of air, it changed.
Green, stemmy, herbal to start....tight and tannic red fruit. Smelled and tasted like a Wash St Syrah or SAmerican Malbec. An 88 then.
A few hours later, the green leaves, the fruit turns less red and less tannic and it fills out a bit. I still feel like this one has room to grow with time in the bottle. If you don't give it enough air right now, you will miss all its good qualities.

There is a alcohol / disinfectant note on the nose and some lime cest on the palate lowering the score. Other than that a rather pleasant, fresh and vibrant weekday drink but not really worth stocking up on.

Nice piece. Good balance between fruit and tannins. Medium long - drink next 2-3 years
