The 2018 Big Easy is a dense, plush opulent wine. The Big Easy fills the palate with masses of dark fruit, suggesting an ample, full-bodied character wine. Dark cherry, chocolate, licorice, new oak, leather and spice all build as the 2018 shows off its exuberant personality. A touch of new oak adds mid-palate richness and sweetness.

Delicious.
Big fruit, lots of medium to dark reds. Bit of animal funk in there in a really pleasant undertone, with the oak blending and gluing everything together. It's a nice ride and a lovely sip. Enjoy the 2016 now.
