This was polarizing. I loved it for its Bordelais personality, while my wife (who prefers her SBs leaner/racier) found it off putting. It’s rich and somewhat creamy, with a nice pithy/juicy tension. Notably better on the second night, so perhaps I drank it too young. 91-92

A wow wine. A lot richer and fuller than 2020 Carlisle Mancini consumed immediately before, but in balance and not at all overdone. Absolutely on par, qualitywise, with Carlisle SVDs, at a lower price. Great QPR. 94-95
