A real crowd pleaser but just not my bag baby. Like his big boy wines with some age and I love Russell but this is still too primary and big (well done however) for me.

The oak has receded a bit and the Pyrazineis just peaking its head out.

An amazing wine. Day 6 of our 24 day Amazon cruise. Just left Kingstown, St. Vincent, heading south. Very green island with clear waters.

A well made wine in a style that is not to my tastes right now. Big and unapologetic but good balance and just enough acidity to carry its weight. Mouthfilling ripe fruit. Wishing for the graphite and pyrazine complexity of good Bordeaux though.

A ton going on. Can't quite break it down but it's phenomenal.
