2016 opened august 2021. Not very interesting. Black tea on the nose. Unripe black raspberries on the front. Medium tannic body with thin silky mouth feel. Lots of jangly high notes on the finish. The wispy tannins balance out the extremes of the other components, but this a mediocre wine. Yes I know it hasn’t had time to mature in the bottle, but unless aging can transmute the lead into gold, I wouldn’t bother with this vintage.
