Great nose. Out of the bottle it’s vibrant with strong flavors but there is no tannins hitting the cheeks or finish. Both wines tonight are fine but just not exciting enough to make you want another glass. Goes with the steak and pasta but not enhancing it.

Very good, full and complex. A little fuller than I prefer. For the price I would expect something more transcendent.

Is this the WOTN? The nose would say yes but lacked the finish of the Materium. I’m saying it’s a tie.
