I do not know if this vintage is on the decline or it’s just the bottles that I scooped up at clearance at my State store around Christmas 2020. Both bottles were the most subdued of this bottling ( I have had the ‘12-16). Could also be the vintage. Opened bottle 30 minutes before dinner, drank over 2 hours. The nose is still quite alcoholic, as are the initial few sips. Blue fruits, smooth, and still quite tight with tannins. I would have guessed it was 2015. I have a few 2016s left, so fingers crossed. Would love to hear from others. I thought the 2012 and 2014 were delicious

I think my last bottle of this and drinking really well / dark fruit, a bit of mineral and dust, a very well made cab at a good price point. 3rd wine for them of the vintage I think - so getting some excellent fruit. Would buy this vintage again for sure. If they released again it’s basically a 5th wine... 93-94
