November 16, 2019 - I opened the first bottle of a case to see what all the fuss is about. There's no smoke without fire - this is a fascinating bottle of wine. The super plush blueberry, lavender, ganache notes on the nose carry through to the palate, where there's a refreshing thyme/rosemary herbaceousness as well. I'm intrigued (maybe perplexed is more apt) - this has such an intense nose and great depth of flavor on the palate, yet the tannins are unbelievably soft. I wonder if it has the legs to go as long as some other 16s will - but then again, a lack of tannin was supposedly the "flaw" of the 82s when they were tasted young...
