    May 28, 2017 - First time I've had one of these with age. I don't think these wines really hit their stride until a vintage or two after this one, so I wasn't expecting a ton. The good news is that it's held up chemically - no doubt the screwcap helps matters - a very clean showing. The zesty orange flavors it showed on release are still here and very much in the foreground. There's a base of fruit underneath that that feels denser and sweeter than I remember - definitely New World style fruit, not fat but fairly slick - which has picked up a more crimson tone and a slight leathery quality with age. The citrus gives it a refreshing feel. Drank with fried chicken and paired just fine.
