Mark1npt Likes this wine: 93 points
March 7, 2020 - I thought this was a nice wine, a decent '17.....until HMC opened the '16. OMG......no comparison. I failed to appreciate the 'greenness' of the '17 until I drank it side by side with the opulent '16. I'm sorry......maybe against all other '17s this is a 96 but against a good '16 it's a 92-93 at best, on a good day, with the wind blowing in the right direction. I hope it gets a point or two better, but what are the chances?
