Drink: Now+
Tasting note: This is a wine that I've had the pleasure of enjoying many times since its release and one that offers fantastically rich yet not excessively ripe fruit and flavors with excellent density, concentration and superb length. The breadth of flavors and incredible texture here is outstanding and the wine offers stunning overall quality. A great wine that is only just now beginning to reveal its full potential and while the tannins are finally beginning to soften, the overall impression is still one of notable youthfulness. I underscore however that even though one could approach this now, it will last for decades. Multiple and mostly consistent notes including several examples tasted in 2016; indeed the only poor bottle that I have had was plagued with high levels of volatile acidity which was very likely due to poor storage judging from the condition of the label.
