PnP and then decant for 2.5 hours at the W Hotel Playa Conchal. The full line up (2015 Lewis Hillstone Reserve, 2015 Caymus Special Select, 2013 Colgin Syrah and 2015 Keplinger Fuego y Mar).
Wine was good not very good until the 1.5 mark where it started to fill out and show a broader deeper side than what we got at the 30 minute mark. This wine should become better than what it is today however if you have time for a long decant, the wine will show fine. Dark fruits, espresso and minerals trave through this tightly wound ‘15. I wouldn’t touch for 2-3 years depending on the number of bottles in your cellar. 93-94 for now.

One hour decant. Espresso, cinnamon, cedar and clove on the young, tight nose. Silky smooth palate with nice Rutherford dust texture. Firm tannins on medium long finish. This will be better with some age.
