Revisiting this vintage and I’m finding that it is constantly evolving. It’s drinking rather open and approachable right now. Perhaps doesn’t have the attack, precision or intensity of the 2015 but it is nonetheless a very expressive wine with lots of character. The floral component is quite striking, the fruit is sweet and soft on the palate and there is a healthy dose of funk that permeates throughout. Moderate acidity and smoother tannins than I expected, but certainly not lacking in complexity for such a modest price point.
