Coravin’d a large glass and let it sit for about 90 minutes. Wish I had tried it immediately to make sure it was OK. This bottle, like my last 2017 bottle had gone bad. I have one 2018, and thinking I may wanna open it sooner, rather than, later.

Wow, this is just so damn good. This bottle was very similar to the previous ‘16 I had. Still big, powerful with lots of fruit. If anything, I’d say this was smoother and less “fruity” (that’s not totally fair as the first bottle wasn’t overly fruity at all). Still nice tannins, low acid... probably even better balance now. Drinks great on its own, or with food.
Moving this up to 91 points with a Very Good QPR. Need to head over and get some more before this vintage is gone! 👍🏻

Coravin - Delicious. Very similar to previous vintages. Big and powerful with lots of black & red fruit. Nice tannins, low acid, a very nicely balanced wine. Drinks great on its own, or with food.
Another solid 90 Pointer and a Very Good QPR.
