"Awesome" is inadequate as a descriptor when talking about this wine. The greatest Bien Nacido bottle I've ever experienced. #ipob14

2012 vintage. Holding up rather well. Appropriate nose, velveteen entry. Light-medium body. Balanced fruit/acidity. Fairly smooth palate draw/experience. 2.20.23

VVV @ Petes. Weaker nose than the rest but the team liked it. Softer than brewer, but more zip than the ABC.
