Normal non-vineyard bottling from this producer. Bought of restaurant wine list for $75

It was quite dark so hard to judge the color, but appeared quite dark, no bricking - nose was vibrant and rich with coffee, leather and dark fruits, MLV pronounced boisenberry -and I will defer to her. Chewy texture and lengthy finish. Was decanted through filter as it through a significant amount of sediment.

Fantastic bottle of wine - WS seriously underscored this bottle. Last night it was at 93-94 points and truly was singing.

Yup, was pre-Molesworth - everyone's favorite punching bag PHM - I looked this morning because I was curious
