Huge fruit bomb not ready for food. Give it two-three years, then throw a rib-eye at it.

Huge fruit bomb. Nice oak and dark berries/cherries. Good with chocolate now, try with rib-eye in 2-3 years.

Enormous fruit bomb. Pretty tasty, not too complex or interesting. I'd say it is what it is for the price. Old worlders need to avoid like the plague.

Another wine we had around the campfire. Beautiful jammy profile - this is a Parker wine for sure. Well integrated, nice structure, nice balance of flavors to round out the fruit. Always a crowd favorite ... at a different level of quality than most crowd favorites.

This wine has really evolved over the past 6 months. It started over like a jammy, monstrous fruit bomb but has added layers of complexity with just the right touch of bacon fat. This is a wonderful wine though def. not for those who insist on old world wines. Try again in another year and watch this wine wow even more.
