Joanna Simon: The bottle tasted in December 2015 was more evolved than the one tasted in March 2016, with a mellow, cedary sweetness, softer, silkier, less taut palate, and suggestions of incense, coffee and nutmeg coming through the black-fruit purity. The earlier bottle had a more youthful floral fragrance and spiciness, deeper, more insistent black-fruit and mineral flavors, and firmer, fine-grained tannins. For the latter (tasted in March): | 96 ; for the softer (December) bottle: 93
