  You get a lot of fruits - its red cherries also hint of strawberries and raspberries - we also get - we are also getting forrest floor, wood and some menthol - a nice balance - tannins are medium - acidity is a bit higher - but not affecting the balance - for me the wine is at the moment a bit closed - not giving so much - it is a well made wine - and I will start with 92.

  Great battle between 2015 and 2016 vintages (RP: 2015:94, 2016:94; WS 2015:92, 2016:95). Those are two extremely different wines. The 2015 is dominated by dry wood at this stage. There is a lot of fruits underneath but the overall balance is not there right now, even after more than 3 hours of carafe. I will give it a rating of 92 now with a probable rating of 94+ in a few years. Not close to be ready to drink.
  The 2016 is a wonderful wine right now. Very rich but with smooth tannins and lovely fruits. Great balance already, it has a little more acidity and much less dry wood tannins. It is still a young wine but I like it very much right now. I rate it 94 now with a potential of 95 in a few years.
  The overall experience was great as I thought those two vintages would be very similar but boy I was wrong.

  Muted aroma, medium body, fruit overwhelmed by acidity. Maybe this will get better in 5 years, and then maybe not. Inferior to other vintages that I have enjoyed of this wine.

  Very good with good core of fruit, but still too young and too oaky. Next bottle in 3-5 years
