Less than $30 in my store, and with Wine Spectator lavishing 94 pts on this example, I had to dip my toe in. WS is the only wine critic I follow, and they are mostly en pointe in my book.
This example is tightly wound and tannic, but the elements of an outstanding wine are all there. Maybe needs to relax a little more in the bottle, but it explodes from the glass right now. Acidity and weight are outstanding for a case production in the thousands. When in a restaurant and you see these wines on the menu, go here to avoid a financial nosebleed and tasting enjoyment.

Had in St Pete with Dale and Mariah. A little fruity for Neil but I enjoyed and would have again.
