Paired with cream of mushroom soup and a holiday rosemary bread, the wine seemed to be all right. However, after the food was gone it seemed a little rough around the edges--definitely too much oak. Maybe some bottle age will moderate this unpleasantness, so it will be a while before I go back for another bottle.

93 Points, James Suckling - "A complex, youthful nose with plenty of potential, as the spicy oak sits up across brambly, fresh and vibrant cherry aromas. The palate has a very succulent feel...The tannins are so juicy and alluring. Really expansive at the finish."

Perhaps a flawed bottle this time , but I did not enjoy this as much as I liked the 2016 we drank last month.

Gorgeous garnet robe. Bright acids, light body, fine tannins. Elegant floral, spice, black cherry, truffle notes. A pleasure to drink.
