Bart Bartlett

Very tart on first sip, but I can tell our had a lot of depth. This wine has the potential to be excellent. I'll re-rate in a couple of hours after it breathes. Thanks to a previous reviewer for the heads-up.

90 minutes later this wine has opened up very nicely. As expected, it starts with intense dark fruit flavor and smoothly evolves to a citrus middle and finished on a spicy note.
