So I ended up opening one this past weekend with a friend and can say I was very happy with the wine. It started off very closed and muted with a good amount of acidity, and then really opened up in the glass over the night and showed surprisingly fruity berries to go along with that powerful acidity from earlier.I'd say so. But I wonder if it was actually made by Peter Douglas and the 96 points Sam Kim review is a bit of a red flag for me.
I like to try and find bargains at price points, I don't think this is a 150$ wine, but if someone told me it was worth 80 or 90, I'd say that's probably about right for the quality. I really do want to see how this one ages, we opened it up alongside a 32yr old leasingham which gave us some interesting perspective.
