Zoom event with Drew Bledsoe and Josh McDaniels. Vertical from ‘07, ‘14, ‘15, ‘16, ‘17, ‘17 estate, and ‘18. All were exceptionally smooth and silky with good depth of fruit. Notes on the ‘16:: drinking really well. 89% CS, 4% PV, 4% Malbec, 3% merlot. Well balanced. Reminded me a bit of a Cos ‘d Estournel with a mix of red fruit, earth and pencil lead on the nose. The wine tended toward the earthy side on the palate and had a super long balanced finish that ended with a touch of spice.
