This was still an excellent SB & aging well. Enjoyed the wine open up while sipping during & after dinner. Definitely picking up the white grapefruit notes along w/complex structure. Looking forward to moving on to newer vintages as this was the last 16.

Aromas of hay and white grapefruit; almost reductive quality to it. Sees 100% oak - 2/3 neutral, 1/3 new French. Full bodied, wonderful mouth feel. Has 8% Semillon in blend. Very long finish and 100% malo. Wow! This is a great SB for autumn.

Aromas of hay and white grapefruit. Almost reductive. Blended with 8% semillon. Sees some oak. Wow. Full bodied. Long finish. Really interesting and tasty. Great fall season SB.

Excellent SB w/barrel notes present, creamy & complex. Not your typical SB.

More barrel, more malo, more sem., And then some reduction on the palate too.
