  The '18s in general have been the most stubborn vintage I can remember - especially based on all the hype - and these Myriad NV are no exception. They are finally settling down and coming together. Mike Smith used to always say "drink the NV in first 5 years while you are waiting for the single vineyard bottlings to age a little". Well these are just getting into their drinking window at the 6 year mark. Better late than never.

  Super approachable out of bottle but give it 30 minutes and it really shines in the Mike Smith style. Lush powerful but well integrated. Only problem is it may be too drinkable

  As others have said, these are starting to come around. Still tight, better on day 2, but two years since my last bottle has improved this and air or more time in the bottle this should continue to get better.

  Drank it Pnp and though it was a bit tight, it softened after some time in the glass and open bottle. I would suggest a short decant if opening in the near future though. Drinking well, but not quite as good as other vintages of the Myriad NV IMO.
