September 21, 2017 - Consistant with my previous tasting note to seeming. However, I admit that I underrated this wine fairly. Not that riper and sweeter than I remember. Still the wine has fine structure, acceptable acidity and fresh red fruits core. Moreover, it is getting complexity as days go by. Although it is not equal to great vintages like the 2010 or 2015, I think it is good enough. 93-94 pts.

We both were very satisfied after that. Sadly I didn't have any matured Avril's Cdp for now, so I should open it. I got a few 2014 vintages more. I'll try to keep it cellaring for many years. Thanks for your opinion.
