Drink this one over a romantic dinner when you want everything to be perfect. It smells good, it tastes good....all around awesome.

Definitely a cut below other years. Somewhat rough start with acidic, earthy finish. Better the next day and with food, but still...eh.

Smooth and doesn’t need too much time to open up. Not overly complicated and decent value. I’ve heard older vintages are the way to go though (i.e. 2012)
