This wine was simply stunning. Medium gold, pronounced nose and also on the pallet. Showing tertiary characteristics but the bottle clearly could have benefited from a bit more age. Great to drink now but will last a decade or better with upside. 96+

Graham and ginger bouquet. Balance of weighty finesse. Candied pina colada lemon curd, some granite. The oak is has integrated over the last few years--or really all the components have--and this is in its window. 2020-2025.

Another Casual Burgundy Dinner (Juno - Chicago IL): Served alongside the 2013 vintage. Similar aromas on both, with lots of ripe orchard fruit. But this was more intense, powerful and slightly backward. Less pleasure for tonight vs the 2013, but more medium and long term potential, 2018 and later.

Adult candy nose. Deluxe with a generous and notably balanced presentation of its key components: white chocolate or coconut; a decent viscosity of tropical-, autumn-, and citrus-fruit; wet rocks; and up-front lactic acid.

Significant premox on this bottle. Still incredibly exciting on the bouquet and palate; though the finish is hard to bear. Trying another.
