Tuesday, October 9, 2018 - Some crushed dark fruit on the nose, along with more than a hint of sweet/sour pickle; pretty decent darker fruit on the medium bodied palate, turning sweeter strawberry on the mid-palate through the finish, with good acidity and some fine tannins hidden in there somewhere. I like this more than I did the riper 15 version, but that sweet note is not really a favorite. This bottling is getting a lot of raves, but for my tastes I preferred the 14, or the 16 Thivin I wrote up a few days ago.
