Over three days and side-by-side with the 2011. Day 1, raspberry up front, stemmy core. Day 2: Opened up with intense raspberry and cherry up front, cottony / linen + vegetal, stemmy notes on the core and then a long finish on some tannin and a bright acidity. Day 3: Open even more, just a wave of red fruit up front and then strong vegetal flavors on the core almost like a Cab Franc before finishing back like a pinot with a big pop of acidity. YUM!

Very bright raspberry start, leading into a linen / earth core and finishing with high notes from the acidity. Delicious as ever, I do like the 16 a little better.
