Rich and bold with focus. Rich black fruits on the palate with a long deep finish with a menthol hint.

Super well rounded. Kind of shocked when it hits your mouth how smooth it is. Blackberries that are over ripe

Had this right after the Julia’s. It’s very good, but not nearly as good as the Julia’s. Wheras that one was really well delineated, the 459 is a bit fatter on the palate and not nearly as precise. Still a terrific wine, but came up second in last night’s contest!
