This year's set of wines from Neil Collins' personal winery--he is the long-time winemaker at Tablas Creek--is the strongest collection I've yet tasted. The wines have always shown very good depth and power but now there's more polish, in a good way, with no loss of personality, much less heft. The consistency across Collins' portfolio has also taken a noticeable step up and I was struck by the wines' vivacity and balance, which I suspect will enable them to age quite well.
