This is really lovely. Very floral with lots of tobacco and iron. Tannins are fully integrated. I feel like this has another couple years of life but this is drinking really well right now. Still good on day 2 but showed its best after being open for about a hour. Beautiful wine!

My notes consistent with Seth. Paired quite well with grilled flat iron steak (mushroom rosemary salt to finish seemed to be especially complimentary).

The nose of cassis, lambskin and limestone is really spectacular. The palate adds a hint of tobacco but the fruit is rather hollow. Even when young this winery lacks body and depth of fruit and at this age the fruit has faded somewhat. However, with an hour of air the midpalate started to fill in and there was more lift. Much fresher than the 2000 and more mature than the '16. Drinking really nicely.

Nicely matured. Likely at or near end of peak.
