very good wine with wonderful full, lush finish, not a bitter note to be found. perhaps a wee bit too much cotton candy & cola for me @ 1st but maybe i got used to this nose or the sweet aspect blew off. lots of tartness persisted though and there is still some discernible tannin. glad i have 2 more bottles but i would have have not guessed this a Garys’ wine if tasted blind.
