Not bad for $38! Was hoping for a 2021, but never know what you get with the BWS wheel

It’s steep at $40, but the wine list is grossly overpriced.

We had the 2012 last night. A little ripper from an excellent year.

If you didn't finish the bottle, it's even better the next night.

Ah, no risk of “leftover” wine…

At lunch today. An absolute cracker.

Stunning.
97 points – James Suckling

This shows phenomenal structure to it with fantastic linear tannins that take this wine deep and long on the palate. It’s buttressed by a beautiful balance of ripe fruit characterized by strawberry and orange-peel undertones. Chewy and focused. Needs four or five years to soften and show its true greatness. Available in February 2019. Try in 2022.

We're only opening one of the wines especially given there's just myself and my uncle.

Did not disappoint. Ethereal comes to mind.
