  Stunning. Immense spice notes and oily trees. Clove, dried laurel logs, allspice, clove, nutmeg but with a real freshness without any green. Every fruit from wild strawberry to a hint of cherry. Still primary, acidic and tannic but so much to like right now. The best of the ‘16 pdb? Double decanted and developed in the glass but very drinkable.

  Drinking well with aeration and 1 hour decant - drank over several hours. A little more full bodied and richer than some of the other PDB bottlings. I would say great with food but still tannic without food - open another bottle in 18+ months

  Coravin fun - Piedmont (My place, Kent Street): Concentrated dark fruits prove quite ripe; cherries; plums, sweet spice, a little pot pourri. Juicy medium plus intensity acidity keeps the palate fresh, quite fruit concentration on the palate as well but more form a weight perspective than overt ripeness, tannins are present, persistent, quite talc textured and travel long hand in hand with the fruit. Lovely.

  Strawberry red with a thin meniscus. Cherry and a hint of strawberry on the nose, with some cinnamon and a whiff of smoke. Those fruit notes carry forward on the palate, along with vanilla, tobacco, some earth and smoke. Wonderful acidity and depth of fruit. It’s still quite tannic at this stage even here on the second day; this is a wine for people more patient than me to cellar for quite a few more years yet. That being said, though, it’s still pretty damn good even at this point.
