What a wine. $25 in a store in Toledo, although I have since seen it on the internet for less than $20.
Dark red, very expressive, less in fruit (some dark fruit there), more in leather and smoke, with a fine finish, all very well balanced. Great now, probably great later too. Excellent value, will buy more. I think it would stand its own against many CdPs.

Thanks for the heads up

Much the same the second night, which tells me that it will age well (is that a good assumption by the way?). $16.99 at Bassin's in DC, I'm down for a case.
