The oak is still somewhat distracting, but overall, this is evolving into more of a balanced wine with good minerality, acidity, and creamy yellow tropical fruit flavors, especially after a few hours with air. Still rugged and awkward, I think it can become more. Drink 2016-2020.

Rounding out, but still a little sharp and uneven.

Quick taste. More resolved than last year, but still slightly out of balance.
