Really in the right place now! Very enjoyable. soft tannins after 1+ hour decant. Lively medium red fruits, lots of polish and finesse. Best one yet from them in the 2016 vintage. Drink up!

Nose has dark fruit, damp leaves, and wet gravel. A little oaky baking spice as well. Palate is surprisingly fresh and red-fruited. Not very intense, but balanced and delicious. Tannins are present but in balance. Ready to drink now, but will keep and possibly improve for quite a few years as well.

Dark color. Candied black fruit aromas with a touch of something feral in the background- almost like what you expect from mourvedre. Medium-bodied with flavors of black currants, red plum and dried herbs. Perhaps just a little thin through the midpalate and finish. (R&D)

Double decanted a few hours ahead. Was open enough and quite pleasurable.
