  Same note as 2015:
  Very dark and opaque. Quite aromatic, with dark fruits, tar, earth, smoky oak, already complex. Full-bodied flavors but extremely smooth. It's 14.6% alcohol but not at all hot, not at all astringent from the tannins. Plenty of dark fruit flavors, doesn't come across as heavy, but beautifully balanced. Perfectly ready, may last several more years, but no reason to wait.

  This wine definitely improved since my first sip in 2013. A very good wine in a bad vintage.

  Booker wines continue to disappoint, especially given the price point. Black cherry liqueur, red flavors and a hint of blueberry on the nose. Heavy dose of heat both on the nose and palate gives it a somewhat medicinal character. Big and round makes it great for bbq or anything grilled and smokey. Not a lot of dimension to this one, and not sure it improves(!) from here.

  Dark ruby. Muted nose. Black cherries, red fruits. Smooth and silky with medium length finish.
