  I enjoyed tonight as a flight of part of our wine group.
  We had 97,14,16,17. The 16 and 17 were tops after the first hour with the 16 just a hair above. The 97 started to wake up but the 16 was the wine of the flight.

  Aromatically very giving, with masses of cassis and spiced wood. Some unintegrated oak here and still somewhat tight on the palate. Lovely now with some air but better in 5 years. 14.5%

  A great wine, sure to improve with further aging. Cassis, mint, meat, smoke and tar flavor notes. Structured for the long haul, but rewarding to drink now with a few hours aeration. Very enjoyable!

  Drank with a late Christmas dinner of beef Wellington as the second bottle after a 2014 Cain Concept. 3 hour decant. Definitely needed to be filtered. Initially funky on the nose and were worried was corked but we agreed that was completely ready after the decant and there were votes that it was even better than the Cain. Wish I had more to compare in a few years, but not disappointed now.

  Decanted for 2 hours. Beautiful color. However, the wine was still tight. Either a longer decant and/or wait a couple more years..
