Promontory Wine Dinner by Kerry Wine (Restaurant Petrus): Promontory Wine tasting including 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018.
Second to 2012, probably one of the wines I enjoyed the most that night. Great nose full bodies. The wine was very harmonious Tannins integrated. Approachable but definitely will improved with time.

2017 is probably the lightest of the 5 wines. Nose definitely not as open as the others. Still feels very closed. Minerals, fresh. Fine

2016 is quite approachable right now. Berries and mineral/earthy. Tannins much more restraint than the 2013. Long finish.

Promontory Wine Dinner by Kerry Wine (Restaurant Petrus): Promontory Wine tasting including 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018. Side by side with the 2012, 2013 still needs more bottle age. Wine is still closed, opened up slightly over the course of the night. Definitely more mineral than the 2012. The tannins have not integrated yet and still a little coarse. Revisit in 10 years.

Nose was great complex nose with lots of floral and dark red fruit. Tannins integrated and fine. Full body. The wine was ready to go right from the bottle and further opened up during the night. Very enjoyable
