2016 Bryant Family Allocation

Email just hit. LPB100pts, worth $550/btl??

I tasted the '16 cab just last week at dinner with Bettina alongside the 2014 cab and the 2013 Bettina. Very well made wines even if a bit rich for my AFWE palate. They had a fair amount of new oak present and it is apparent that these are not being made for immediate consumption based on their structure and tendency to show flashes of secondary goodness underneath all that deep fruit. If you pull the trigger I’d lay the '16 down for at least 15 years or they aren’t worth the investment.

I still get their offers but they fell off my buy list years ago along with Harlan, Screaming Eagle, and a bunch of others.
I’ll take 7 bottles of Drinkward over 1 Bryant at that price.
