Opened in Hong Kong. P&P but slow-oxed for a few hours before sharing over dinner.
I was worried that this was going to be reductive and monolithic, but this pleasantly surprised me! Opened up quite nicely and there was a lovely red fruit bouquet. Good structure and minerality - not a very weighty wine but enjoyable.
I'd say revisit in 3+ years and see how it's doing, given my positive experiences with the 2015 now. Upside potential.

(TST) PNP. Small glass. This is quite unbalanced when it's first poured. I'd give it at least 3 hours of slow ox.

Aromatics mostly reduction at the stage, not much else peering through. Nicely polished and balanced palate, which is red fruited and quite dry.

Floral with hint of smokiness that dissipates, assuming reduction. Bright, lucid palate that finishes quite dry.
