My first of 16 bottles and believe it for not, my first CDP. This was an unforgiving tannic monster upon opening and a good 8 hour slow ox really did it some good. I have nothing to really compare this against but I did almost forget and think I was drinking an opulent $100+ Napa cab at one point. The high tannins along with the strong acidic backbone likely entails a long life ahead. I’ll give the next bottle another year or two and now I really can’t wait to open one of the 2016 Reserves.
