86
Really wanted to like this one but to me it just had a complete lack of anything from mid palate on, nothing on the finish.
Think giving it an score of 88 reminds me of what Neal Rosenthal once wrote, ‘Extravagant praise thrown at wines that appear on the scene without a scintilla of heritage’.
* Second glass * after decanted one hour and watching Iron Chef America -somewhat improved, first glass was with Modern Family.

So many wines, so little time. As another reviewer noted, this may improve with decanting, but fresh out of the bottle it has an overly sulphuric nose. While there are hints of vanilla and cherry mid tongue, it tends to leave a bitterness at the tip. We can blame it on bottle variation, or we could just move on. Too bad, for a BC label with some cred, we expected SO much more.
