Even better than last note on 1/2016 - so much blackberry purée, just gobs of minerals & loam, so beguiling on the nose and followed through on mid palate seamlessly, gracefully and w/extraordinary length.

More Bordeaux than Rioja - generous stewed cherry, prune, lead pencil, tobacco, cedar all woven together - not much sign of age, has many more years to go
