  Gave it about two hours of bottle air to hit its stride after the first glass

  If you didn't know this was a "second" wine, you would assume this was a top CA syrah.

  Stopped buying because I thought these were overrated.
  However, the '16s are pretty good right about now - and probably for the next 5-10 years.
  A tad overextracted but very nice bold complex fruit, nice finish.

  Drank last week and neglected to take notes. Most enjoyable.

  Not sure why this bottle is so much better than my previous one, smooth, mineral, glossy fruit, black pepper. Perfectly paired with my spicy thai curry.
