This is the most forward and approachable of the new releases, a little tannic and structured, cellar 2-3 more years, drink now with aeration. — 17 hours ago

i've had this off & on for the past 25 years and it reliably offers copious amounts of fruit along with cocoa, vanilla & other decadent flavors & aromas. This was no different just not as polished or balanced as I recall. Wonder if they've increased production - this is their entry level offering — 3 months ago

Vintage 2012 | Oomphs… what’s wrong with me… tasted blind I was perceptive that there was a disbalance in the wine. Bummer. — 3 months ago
