REDEEMED. After having a few bad bottles (which seems to have been a shipping issue), this is representative of this winemaker's quality. It may have shown even better if I had waited (tasted it the day after it arrived). Dense concentrated with ripe tangy berries. Great fruit and good acid. Drinkable now (with a couple of hours of breathing), this should age well. Best from 2024-2029, probably to 2034. Will retry soon. The least expensive of his 2019 reds and a great introduction to them. It will not disappoint

Second time a week apart. At first, had a whiff and slight taste of burgundy. Then sweet and sour notes took over. All sorts of odd and off flavors. Absolutely terrible. Overheating can do this but I dont see any evidence of this (corks are good, no seepage, no bulging of corks). Could be really bad luck with 2 bad bottles in a row
