Absolute banger tonight with a big steak. Needs 45+min to really shine. Then it was singing. Perfectly in balance, just ripe black fruit, supple tannins, med acidity. Firing on all cylinders, this is what wine should be. — 20 days ago
Very young. And tight at the open. Yet, there is a freshness that transcends the tightness. With time it opened up and was fresh and extraordinarily balanced. Lovely bottle. I probably won’t open another 23 for several years, but this was really nice and I look forward to seeing this one again. — 2 months ago
Surprised ratings are low on this. I found it absolutely brilliant. Super smooth and great mouthfeel. Silky tannins, wonderfully balanced, ripe black fruit. — a day ago
It’s been 4 years since my last bottle. This is a PNP and it’s amazing, not only for a 2017, but any year. Drinking wonderfully now. Structure is solid. Fruit is ripe. Just really good right now. — 7 days ago
Large nose of black cherry and oak, vanilla. Softened and slightly chalky tannins, beautifully balanced. Great mouthfeel, ripe but not overpowering dark red and black fruit, slight camphor, pencil shavings, wet stone. Very very nice. Medium + finish. Drinking wonderfully now. — 25 days ago

Deep dark and powerful. Dark fruit, blackcurrant, cassis. Oaky, earthy, iron ore. Big and bold. — 4 days ago
Wow, almost four years since my last bottle. Big wine! Tannins softened and chalky. Acidity still strong, yet still very balanced with just ripe dark fruit. Charcoal, pencils shavings, granite stone. Great mouthfeel. Long finish! Drinking better than my last bottle with many many years left. — 22 days ago

It’s been 4 years since my last bottle of this 2016. Really softened up. Easy drinking tannins, well balanced. Dark fruit, blackberry, walnuts, baking spices, melted chocolate. Medium plus finish. Very nice. — a day ago
