March 4, 2018 - PnP. Well integrated tannins. Fruit present but not overpowering. Medium body. Sitting at a good point where it will likely start to go downhill with more age so drink now.

November 21, 2016 - Too over the top for me, with dominant notes of new oak drowning out the rich fruit. Notes of plum, violets and black cherry, along with some space. Fully integrated tannins. Sweet, jammy finish.
