This 2018 is OK but doesn't do anything to make you say wow or now we are talking. For a 2018, somewhat disappointing. It may come around but right now after being open for 6 hours, i’d say disappointing and not a good QPR, at this stage. If you own this, I'd wait another 5 years.

The 2016 Chimney Rock is the best between the 2018, the 2017 and the 16. It took a while to settle down but after and hour open and some swirling, the 2018 was very nice. I’d pass on the 17 and the 18 needs time.

This is not as good as the 2016 or the 2018. Even after an hour, it was still disjointed. Not much fruit and alcohol was strong. I'm not sure why but the wine kept trying to shine but at it's price point, disappointed!
