This is still drinking very well since my last taste in 2016. Beautifully mature at this point and still has some life left in it. I wouldn't wait more than a couple of years on the next bottle, though. Thoroughly enjoyed this with Thanksgiving leftovers. I preferred this to the 2014 Bedrock Bedrock Vineyard Heritage, but another experienced taster preferred the Bedrock.

W porkchop from grill. Great combo. This is relly good with long life. None of the fizz from other vintages. Great solid fruit, great length. This is good impression of chateauneuf

So sad! My last bottle from a great vintage. The depth of character was amazing. The meaty character of the Mourvedre really comes through. Perfectly balanced.
