I like this a lot better than the '15. A little more fruit, a lot more structure and excellent minerality. Black cherry, cranberry, radicchio, some coffee and a riverbed full of rocks. A solid drinker now but should evolve for a few years so no hurry.

Nice. But tannic. Even after being open for a day, the tannins dominated. Give it a few more years in the cellar.

Modest leathery nose. Medium bodied, a bit acidic with forward chalk and tannins.

Gravel and wood shavings on the nose. Very structured, bulky tannins up front that integrate into the fruit and acid. Fun, but not deep.

Minimal leather nose. Nice chalk and tannins with some leather - not overly exciting.

Needed an hour of air to lose some graininess and for the fruit to soften and round out a touch. Now nice sour cherries and a slight medicinal whiff.
