2014. Great tonight with a little rack of lamb. All the tools a fine zin can only hope to have. A delightful tension between concentration and elegance. Should come in liters and magnums only. Just so damn tasty. Memorable stuff.

Obviously, still young. Initially almost jammy fruit on the nose, but the wine itself is not. Fruit, mostly blue, is up front but this is definitely a structured wine with plenty of tannic grip. The fruit makes it accessible now but it'll hold for quite a while.

This is singing right now. Had the '14 Carlisle version last week and it wasnt quite as open at this stage. After a quick decant Morgan's version is plush, jam packed with dark fruit but braced by solid acidity and moderate tannin. Utterly gulpable now, but just at the very beginning of it's window so no rush.
