Had this with the 2016, and 2018 Vincent Arroyo Petite Sirah as a vertical comparison.
This is by far the second best one. Silky mineral cassis on the nose. Mineral graphites with juice on the Palate that the other two do not have. I believe this is the end of life. Drink now!

Spoiled? Or spoiled rotten? Opening a bottle of VA has me spoiled, because of the taste(s), and consistency. There are no surprises, just a good quality liquid companionship. Everyone has favorites, VA is one of mine.
