We cracked our 2015 and it had that very unpleasant bite at the front end. Combined w the cigar smoke it was, frankly, unpleasant.
Distraction melted away, however, after about 40 minutes of aeration and by the end of the bottle- 2 hours or so in- she was singing. The tertiary flavors coalesced with the fruit and the acid backbone held it all together beautifully.
The score is AFTER airtime.
Good find, PRP.
Open, decant, aerate for an hour, and ENJOY!
