PnP. Just delicious right from the start. Lots of plummy fruit with a good dollop of black raspberry and a touch of anise (tarragon?), probably from 30% Champoux Cab Franc. 70% Boushey Merlot from a "stony block." Yum

Fruitier than I expected, and I was also thinking the tannins would be "grippier". I did decant for about 45 min prior to pairing with strip steaks, fries and a salad. It was good, just not as good as I was hoping.

Honestly this was the same vintage as the 2014 we opened first...turns out it really did not matter. Same profile, big juicy wine with plenty of red fruit and fine tannins
