Great acidity, stony, gently honeyed, rich but not overwhelming. Compared it to the 2015. Very different, but not a bottle age thing. This had more edge, more energy.

When it's done right... what's not to love... notes of honey, candied lemon, peach, and apricot marmalade... another one of those sweet nectars you have trouble gulping down right away... above all else... Incredible Value!!!
