2015. 9.3-9.4+. Decanted 3+ hours. Excellent young CDP: Black fruits, stone and tar flavors dominate, with some needed tartness/acidity showing up after 4 hours and smoothing out some slight smoky/oak tannins. Evolved all night. Older vintages have been smooth, earthy and Bordeaux-like, and this vintage could easily get to a 95+ level in 4-5 years. $56 at Bottle King, higher elsewhere.

Dusty bouquet. With an aroma of dark cherries after swirling. Silky in the middle then a burst of bold dark cherries. Then a dry tannic finish.
