Nice but the 2014 was more special.

Accessible. Subtle fruit in the nose. Good long flavor evolution. Definitely has dark fruit forward. Some tannin but not heavy. Quite delightful. We enjoyed this after a 2014 Rallye 76, against which it pales. That was probably unfair to do to ourselves. Still this is a solid and delightful bottle. 9.0 or 9.1.
