  A fine spot for a wine that is supposed to be at the end of it's drinking window. We opened and let breath for about an hour. Muted fruit initally but a nice lush mouth feel. In the glass blueberry showed first and then plums and raspberry. Overall a terrific wine that went well with grilled waygu burgers. I think this wine will hold on for a bit longer but I am not sure it will develop much more in the bottle so drink up

  drinking perfectly now, much better than the 2014 Carlisle Palisades PS consumed at the same dinner. Tannins resolved, still great fruit, excellent color.

  Leaner, meaner than expected. Took a while to come around. Black/Purple, rigid. Better on night two than night one, but edges still there. Tannins dusty, wasn't that, fruit just leaner. My only bottle from this vintage. Can certainly age further (cuz it's Petite!) but not sure if the fruit will reveal much more or dry out further.

  Removed cork and set on table for 5-10 minutes. Aromas of red and black fruit wafted out of the bottle and made you want to drink it. Soft, balanced, integrated fruit that was not over the top like petites are. Misxture of red, blue and black fruit that was seemless and easy to enjoy. Underlying complexity of soft earth and wood that kept it from being all about the fruit. Glad I have another bottle to drink as this was the best I have tried this year.
