Not bad for $38! Was hoping for a 2021, but never know what you get with the BWS wheel

It’s steep at $40, but the wine list is grossly overpriced.

We had the 2012 last night. A little ripper from an excellent year.

If you didn't finish the bottle, it's even better the next night.

Ah, no risk of “leftover” wine…

Stunning.
97 points – James Suckling

This shows phenomenal structure to it with fantastic linear tannins that take this wine deep and long on the palate. It’s buttressed by a beautiful balance of ripe fruit characterized by strawberry and orange-peel undertones. Chewy and focused. Needs four or five years to soften and show its true greatness. Available in February 2019. Try in 2022.
