This is a tough one - it seems to have huge potential, but right now it’s super tight and tannic and didn’t soften with several hours of air. Dunnuck talks about perfume but I wasn’t getting much of that. Will give the rest of the bottles several more years at least

still not showing any real signs of age - rich dark fruit finish and smooth tannins. This is very good for the vintage. 3-4 more hours decant would have made this 2-3 points higher given how it performed over the night

This was delicious - when experts talk about sweet tannins I think this is what they are exactly referring to. That tannin entry is so sweet and the black fruits, liqueur like, are near perfect. The 2016’s are great in general but this is amazing. Give it 3-5 hours of air just because it is still young.
