Notes for 2018 ‘N’ (no sulfur) bottling - not hitting for me! The 2016 N is one of my favorites but the couple of bottles I’ve had of this vintage have been off the mark. Jammy one-dimensional fruit, not much acid or structure to speak of and a washed out sorta messy finish. Oh well, still looking for more 16s!

Wild and energetic. Always a favorite of mine.

Much nicer than my prior experience, which gives me certainty that that bottle was off (the risks of no sulphur).  pretty with lots of light brambly fruit, spice and mineral undertone, but for me there’s a lot of added subtlety outshadowed by the moderate funk
