All the black pepper, rose petals and a touch of brett. It reminded me of a Loire Cab Franc. Which is to say: awesome.

Violet pepper. Bitter dark chocolate. Light red with a distinct nose.

Yummy, med-light in body but big & complex in aroma. Regretted not decanting and letting sit for an hour as many notes didn't arrive til later on

Fruit profile so different from the '13, which I preferred. Still, the nose is so incredible and this wine will only get better.

Elegant. Soft, lush with florals yet peppery for contrast. Intriguing yet familiar; a captivating study. $28 (Oddly reminiscent of the Sebastien David Hurluburlu Loire cab franc)
