94 Points

Saturday, December 31, 2016 - From a bottle purchased upon release, this wine had yellow center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose showed green apple, toasty vanilla, lemon, and soil.

Not surprisingly, this was crisp and a bit disjointed upon first pour. However, after 4+ hours of air it was rich and ripe with great balance and excellent length.

This appears to be coming into its drinking window and it will easily last for 10+ years. If you want to open it now, please be sure to decant it for 4+ hours before commencing consumption. My guess is that this wine will improve by a point or two with 5-10 years of additional bottle age (if you can find a taint free bottle).
