CVed 1/23/18. Darkest ruby color of three. Prominent rocks and dark soil and iron and black fruits on nose. Firm grip and texture on palate with tannins but almost silky wrapping and long finish that bites at first but then slowly fades into deliciousness. Interesting that three all very different. This one on the wild and masculine side. Still needs time but should become a great wine, I hope. Traditionalist in the best sense. $55 Gordon's back then! Bought three.
