  2nd bottle. Still youthful.
  
  Pronounced nose with notes of ripe strawberry, cherry, black fruits, spices, slight toast. Still youthful but already drinking well without the strong tannin. Medium+ acidity and tannin. Long finish and medium+ body.

  The Roots Fund Charity Wine Dinner (Atelier - Chicago IL): Alongside the 2014. Very concentrated red fruit that seems faintly roasted in its youth, but I expect that will soften with age. There is so much concentration here that I expect this will evolve into a great wine with cellar time, but doesn't seem fully composed right. I am optimistic here, see 92-94 point potential, 2028 forward.

  The Roots Fund - Chicago Fundraising Dinner (Atelier - Chicago, IL): 14 and 16 side-by-side in a Paulee style dinner - so it was hard to really assess the wines. The 16 was more closed on the nose but I found the palate more generous, though still primary. Both vintages will benefit from a decade+ in the cellar. Fun to check in on them at this stage.

  Restaurant purchase. Lovely stuff. Young. But shows well with air. Initially this was pepper and stemmy. With underlying red fruit. But with air the stems disappear and it is pure red fruit alongside mineral and just a hint of spice. Not a deep or as long as the 15 which I was lucky enough to sample as well. But damn good
