No notes. Drank alongside a 2015 Tusk and this one stole the show for 90% of the time until the very end where Tusk started to show itself. Wonderful plush dark red fruits provided early drinking pleasure. While the wine was ready to go early the ~2 hours on glass/decanter didn’t move the needle to much.

Kind of in an awkward phase but not sure if it will come out. Overly spicy with note of currant, dates, dried apricot. Not sure when to drink next and last bottle.

It's big. Like adding the boxer and Blue Eyed Boy and Carnival (well ok maybe not Carnival) together in a vice and compressing.
Voluptuous fruit though with alcohol heat on the finish. Black modern sexy fruit. Great but Im not completely and utterly in love. I'd say on par with the 2014 Carnival actually (which I do love). Also a little spicy.

Color of dark red or purple. Scents of currant and raspberry. Tastes were consistent with scents, and with a very smooth (almost plush) mouthfeel.

Only the greatest wine I have ever tasted. That’s all. No big deal.

My lucky number. My lucky wine.
It had to be VG.
