  Well, I guess I didn’t intend to open something this nice on a random Tuesday, maybe I can do TRB Tuesdays…This is a PnP, opened nose immediately of cassis, the palate is expansive, it’s got the great 2016 structure, but is very smooth with a hint of acid, this is well-balanced, with a slightly underripe blackberry and raspberry finishing this off. The finish is very long, and tastes like fresh fruit. Not getting much oak here despite 20 months in 100% new french. Really awesome wine and one of the best from TRB I’ve had - this is easily up there with the 2016 Kinsella heirloom and Jersey boys combo but a more elegant, balanced, and less mocha/sucrosity palate, overall befitting an Oakville masterpiece. Ultimately it’s got poise, fruit, structure, and absurd balance. Sure it can age, it’s still primary (but not monolithic), but damn it’s really good in a glass on a random Tuesday. Cheers!
