I agree with pretty much everything in the review below me, aside from the fact that my bottle showed a more effusive bouquet which was quite lovely. This is a nice bottle of wine, not quite up to the 2014, but very enjoyable. This one’s ready to go and I wouldn’t hold it more than two or three more years in order to enjoy it at peak.
Opened for a virtual tasting about 35 minutes before the event and it took at least that long for the nose to appear. I decided to decant to speed up the process. There was some sediment at the bottom of the bottle but it was easily removed and didn't seem to affect the wine. Purple color; dark berries and plum on the nose: some menthol, raspberry and berry fruit on the palate; some tartness on the finish. I did not notice the 14.9 alcohol. I'm glad to have another bottle which we will serve with food. I believe this blend is 54% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Malbec and 7% Cabernet Franc.

Fantastic. Acidity is strong, tannins still holding on, flavor intensity is crazy solid upon opening. Wish I had more to hold onto! Old world style.

Last bottle and solid. Nice blueberries, spice, earth, minerals and dust. Very balanced and medium plus finish. Wish I had more.
