Tasted alongside the '16 over two days (both purchased at an auction). Delicious and quite giving from PnP. Very bright raspberry/cranberry fruit with a floral element to the nose. The softer of the two wines without any obtrusive sense of tannin, but with enough acid to balance out the sweetness of the fruit. While the consensus seemed the '16 was the better bottle, this was delicious in its own right.

consistent with other tasting posts, very bright even after 48 hours open, better on days 2 and three, more savory. I didn’t pick up much if any funk on the nose yet. Very elegant.

Very fruit forward, with the savory and wild elements of Mourvèdre hiding in the background. I will leave my other bottles a while to let the funk emerge.

A different wine like many D R wines. Bright fruit. Let other two wait at least 2 more years.

Another joyous and delicious D and R- the balance here between fruit, acidity, and funk is perfect as always. How are they always on point?
