Wow wow wow and I would say O-M-G as well. Top 3 wines of all time. Definitely does not drink Like a Bordeaux. More like a Cabernet.

And thank you Ted who gave us this bottle and recommended to decant it and throw in the fridge 1/2 hour.

You will not be disappointed even at a $65 price tag. Smoky with definite oak and black currents, it’s simply remarkable.... and even though it’s “alcoholy” from the nose to the finish, it is so complex and dry that it compliments a cab lovers palate!

A pretty fantastic red wine. Juicy while not sweet, benefits from decanting. Not to be too chilled before serving, notes get lost in the cold. Dry, long finish, medium bodied, fantastic. Got it on sale for $23 and would gladly pay $30+
