To be honest, I wouldn’t buy the wine at that price. It was a pretty incredible wine in that it was huge, huge, huge, and well-made. As someone pointed out, “It just tastes expensive.” But for someone looking for more nuance in their wines, they would be well-advised to look elsewhere.

Maybe that helped. Again, I probably wouldn’t buy the wine at that price. But then again, I wouldn’t buy most wines at that price!

What did you think? Would you pay that much for it? (I expect a lot more for my money in the US!)
