  This is in a really accessible spot. Decanted maybe 90 minutes and it was firing on all cylinders. Feels like this will drink well for decades.

  Outstanding. Best with a 2 hour decant and absolutely has room for improvement. Has elegance over power but still very full flavored.

  I was certain this was going to be too young but after 90 minutes, the fruit really started to shine and continued to develop throughout the evening. Everything in good balance and will age beautifully. I really enjoyed this wine. I wouldn't call it jammy but it was fruit forward once it opened up.

  I like it and want to love it -- much as I loved the smashing 2015 -- but I can't quite get there. High points for complexity even at this early date: sweat, eraser, graphite, steel, coffee, chocolate, raspberry, and that thing the experts call "garrigue." But I'm having a hard time deciding whether it's graceful, underwhelming, or simply closed for business. Five more years might clarify things, but I can't see rebuying if I can find the 2015 for the same price.

  No nose to speak up. High alcohol. Subtle mineral. Smooth finish
