My previous comments are still spot on. Absolutely incredible wine. Mouthfeel, nose, primary ripe blue and black fruit, secondary graphite, lavender, wet stone…balanced tannins and acidity…just drinking so good. Perfect with my grilled steak tonight.

2016 Houthi, very tight at opening. 20 min start to see the potential. An hour in, wow! Wine is very very dark. Fruit is muted on nose but oak is prominent with some floral. Black fruit comes out in the glass with time. Lovely wine, wonderful mouthfeel. Built to last many years. Drinks well now, but needs 5-10 more years to really shine. With a long decant you’ll be rewarded now with a divine wine.
