Similar profile to the 2014 and 2015, which would be expected from winemaker Aryn’s consistency in delivering on this flagship wine. Nose seems more pronounced than the 2014 or 2015 and it is more berry-filled as well. Impressed with this wine now; only expect it to perfectly develop.

This Reserve Claret is a special occasion wine. Beautiful, nuanced, full-bodied Bordeaux blend with blueberry, leather & charcoal notes. Decant this and it will blossom and soften perfectly. One of those wines that makes such an impression, you’ll forever remember the first sip. Cheers!
