I concur with @vinokeeno and Jeb D on this - just outstanding at $45. It’s piercing, riveting and focused. Great tannic structure. No flamboyance, just very well presented fruit. Dry presentation, yet sweetish on the downswing. I just ordered another 6 pack. It’s that strong.

8/23 Super dark and concentrated. Black fruit but enough cherry and jammy berries to offset the balance. It was coravined so no rating. Try again.

Surprised how well this wine is drinking now. A short decant is required but it’s drinking quite well but as the tannins integrate will surely improve with time. Still, nice ripe black fruit, dark chocolate, licorice, earthiness. Drinking very well and smooth. Nice medium finish. Excellent value!

Underrated. That Rolland influence and nose. Qpr/Bang for the buck fully engaged. That velveteen pincushion of flavor impressions present and accounted for.
