  Reminds me of a Clio! Lovely wine. Good value at $30

  Sadly, this bottle did not show nearly as well as 8+ bottles over the past 3 years have. Not outright -bad- but seemingly less integrated and pleasant taste and nose much more muted. My wife declined her second glass so I finished the bottle on second day. I'm hoping this was just an "off" bottle/outlier that doesn't accurately reflect on typical age progression for this wine, but will be keeping an eye on others' tasting notes in coming months before deciding when to open the last two I have.

  This is a fairly BIG wine, still having some tannins in the back end. A 1-2 hour decant may be in order, but it defintitely has the "come hither" that wants me to buy more (which I just bought 6 of the 2016 from First bottle at $30). Non traditional blend.

  Still drinking extremely well, if you're lucky enough to have any of the 2015 left.
