" A year’s worth of bottle age has certainly not done anything but enhance the perception of high quality in this top flight vintage from Cathy. The bouquet is starting to blossom nicely since I last tasted the wine in the spring of 2015, offering up a pure and nascently complex blend of black berries, black cherries, tobacco leaf, Rutherford dust, smoke, gravelly soil tones and a discreet base of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and strikingly pure on the attack, with a fine core, ripe tannins and a beautifully balanced, long and utterly seamless finish. This is really a stunning bottle in the making and all it needs is time in the cellar to come into its own."
