Thursday, August 10, 2017 - Very "just barely ripe" tropical notes of melon, pineapple core, even hard mango/guava. Not as precise as other vintages, slightly rounded, enjoyable but lacking depth and complexity. Stick with the reds--this was not worth the price tag. Try again in 3 years to see how/if it ages.
Nonetheless, this was delightful served cold on a hot summer evening with grilled bell peppers and rockfish. 89+
