Pulled out of cellar a week ago so at room temp. Opened less than an hour before poured. Lovely dark cherry color. Smoky old cherry fruit. In a great place. Finishrd. Pulling 2016 for fans/next bottle because we finished before meal…

Medium bodied, traditional styling with modern components. Have been slowly working through a case since 2017 or so and have just now found it to have reached a maturity plateau that takes it out of bright cherry Sonoma and towards the garrigue of Burgundy.
For the first time it's earthy, sultry, balanced. No longer a fun, young kick in the teeth... it has arrived, which is unexpectedly serious. Also for the first time it has echos of their Trenton Estate bottling. 91-92

Very cherry. Light body. Medium acidity and finish. Some smoke.

Meh. Hasn't changed much. Still a bit too astringent for me.
