Popped this for a 20-hour sous vide rib roast with some friends last night to spark the holiday spirit.

A bit disappointed TBH. While it is still within the prime drinking window, I expected much more complexity and depth out of it - but perhaps that’s just from the self-hype of sitting on it for so long.

Problem with a second wine - paying $$ for the name. I enjoy Bordeaux but prefer under $50 as they all taste nearly the same side-by-side

I never paid for this one, so lucked out there.

Honestly I think Overture is better than Opus One (less Petit Verdot).

Dry. Acidic nose. But for $10 this wine is amazing. Where else can you find a ‘14 vintage for that cost. I Get nectarine hints maybe plum. Very little body. Mild tannin; I wouldn’t mind putting out for guests. If you’re going for something dry, acidic, in the red department, can’t complain. I picked this one up from Trader Joe’s. Hope you find this helpful!

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.

Big fan of this one. Not super bold. More velvety. Subtle leathery taste, hints of vanilla! I picked up a half case for 120, or $20 a bottle! I may actually buy more. 8/10 for price and taste. Very elegant.
