Bought at Wally’s @ Resort World. Big fan of this store. Great selection and not insane prices. With $50 cork fee pretty much everywhere in Vegas, very good option. I will say they don’t have many wines that are “ready” outside of the high end room.
Not rating yet as just popped in the room while watching women’s final. Heart says Iowa, bet says go SC. — 12 days ago
3 years since last tasted and it’s great! I remember thinking I shouldn’t touch for awhile. I’d say it’s now in window and on the upslope.
Palate is great. Dense mouthfeel chocolate, candied currant, anise, rhubarb?, baking spices, and cedar with grainy, almost sandy tannin. Long finish. All of those things coming together pretty nicely. Upping a point. — 4 days ago
I double decanted and corked at 6:30 am then started drinking at 4:30 pm. Opaque with purple rim. Great nose! Lavender and blue fruit. Dense almost heavy. Big black fruit, baking spice and oak spice. Quite a bit of burn at the end. Not rating as this didn’t come together and that’s my bad. Too young. Won’t touch other bottles for a long time. — 13 days ago
Haven’t had this since 2020, so 3.5 years later... Last review included “cherries, cherries, cherries,” and had it at 9.1. This has evolved very well! Chocolate, cherries, and a very nice funk that gives this wine a touch of old world. Big fan! 93-94 — 8 days ago
