  • Dark fruit nose and flavours, a bit like good dark fruit cake, a bit sharp and peppery. It went nicely with the flavours of Tri-Tip Tagliata with Salsa Verde (David Tanis Market Cooking) and corn.

  • Better than my other bottle but not as good as 2008 or 2011 vintages.

  • Spicy, complex. Can’t appreciate the organic nature of it.

  • ≈65 min decant into a plastic, cylindrical pitcher which was then closed, noting a SMIDGIN of very, VERY fine sediment; Private Preserve after Day 1

    Cf. the CellarTracker Article link [lower lft] to get specific info for this vintage, including acclaim.

    N: Closed; Earth, minerals atop a melding of berries & pyrazines, the frt aspect gaining strength with air/swirling, + eventually hints of leather & spice?

    P: MF body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by an astringent pucker which stays within hailing distance of the init frt as it fairly seamlessly transitions into a very LONG, balanced finish with a tangy/SWTNESS & very, VERY slight spiciness to the FEW, quite unoffensive, yet firming, very, VERY fine tannins. Went well with the night's Pk Ribs (Baked) with Vinegar/Cilantro Sauce & a German Potato Salad (vinegar based). Solidly my EXC-/EXC & trending upwards for drinking now & through '21, poss longer IF stored better than my < "ideal" storage.
    // Day 3: Somewhat sharper (at least at times) than I'd have anticipated, but otherwise fine. [As of mid Apr '20, wine-searcher still shows shows 1 source @ $43].

    Note: Also tasted 5/27, 9/2, & 9/27/17; 4/14/18, and 9/22/19.

  • This bottle was not as good as other Coyam's I've tried, as if it was already past peak, with jammy and somewhat faded fruit. Still a good wine but I hope my other bottle will be better.
