Very pleasantly surprised by this bottle - has really improved since my last one. It is a very nice mid-week bottle and great QPR at sub-$30. Nice body and flavors. Smooth.

Nice dark ruby red in the glass; Mostly green and oak notes on the nose; blackberry and black cherry on the palate, with a hint of vanilla; med+ acidity and high tannins. The wine developed a bit more fruit on the nose and was a bit softer on the palate after decanting for a few hours...however this wine will definitely benefit from many more years in the cellar. Will hold the remaining 2 bottles for 5 years.

Flawed, just like last night’s bottle. Bummer, actually Double Pisser. The 1st bottle was so nice (post-decant). Hate it when a vintage has issues like this!!!

Would not pay $100 for this but it is very good if you can find for under $40. Not overly complex but offers very good fruit.
