Firstly, the conditions weren’t great for this wine. It was drunk without decanting at cellar temperature, so in many respects was unable to show at its best. I do believe this is a little closed down for now; there seems to be much more lurking beneath the surface that should be revealed with another 5 years or so. That being said, it missed the mark somewhat for me on this occasion and certainly didn’t match the 2014 I had a few weeks ago. I’ll sit on the remaining bottles I have.

Smooth and silky with only a hint of acidity. Berry and currants. A very tasty, easy drinking wine!

Very light, too little oak. Not like a reserva. Pepper came up later with food.

Powerful but balanced; fruit, minerals, and oak. Decanted, waiting to see how it evolves but definitely a bang for your buck
