Opened this last night for my wifes birthday dinner and this was a powerhouse of a wine that we both LOVED. A purple hue throughout with a smoky vanilla laden nose and wonderful aromatics after the wine was open about 30 minutes. The primary flavors of smoky plum, powdery tannins and black currants enveloped the mouth like a truly well made wine should. The acidity in this wine is not too elevated. There is plenty of dark tannic fruit that will only enhance the wine for years to come. It can be enjoyed now with air and should be enjoyed with food. The last glass showed some strawberry rhubarb flavor that I loved. 94pts.

They are fine wines, but my budget does not allow me to drink them as much as I would like. What kind of prices do you see this for in your area?
