Better than the bottle I opened in December but still nothing earth shattering.

I love Santa Cruz mountains normally but this is too oaky for me and lacks complexity. Decent acidity and not much else. My faith in Mr. Garagiste is on the decline.

Savory, herbal, dark berry perfectly muted with fine and refined tannins. Awesome food wine.

Murky medium minus ruby to garnet. Library books, leather, strawberry. Medium acidity, medium plus sugar. Very new world in style.
