was forced to commit infanticide to evaluate whether to buy more in the absence of tasting notes from others. not knowing exactly what to expect, the wine was opened 1 1/2 hours before serving and then decanted. this wine is the real deal. ratings over 90 can be detected on the wow meter from which this wine registers 2 points. the region and the producer are both of historical importance which adds to the pleasure of experiencing this wine. complex aromas and flavors fill the mouth and the sinuses. i particularly enjoy wines that are invasive of the senses in that way. rich fruit with medium body make for a substantial wine but one that is relatively easy to drink. although the wine is full, i suspect that it might be best to drink over the next 5 years. will go back for more.
