| TASTING NOTE: This is a serious red that shows the ripeness of the vintage, yet shows beautiful wood-use and finesse. Full body, round texture and a fresh and flavorful finish. Give it some time to come completely together. Better in 2020. Score - 93 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Aug. 2, 2018) |
