Singin after an hour in the decanter. Delicate florals, herbs, fennel, anise, cranberry, cherry, pomegranate, orange peel, cocoa nibs. Seamlessly knit. Something new with every sip. Wish I had more of this. Beautiful wine.

Pretty good for a ‘17, avoiding sharp tannins and astringency. Nose has a lot of forest floor notes, spice, plummy fruit, lots of dry stony gravel. In the mouth it’s soft on entry, and well-managed tannins assert themselves on the back half of the palate. Macerated ripe cherry fruit and crushed stone flavors, with old barrel/old library notes. Medium acids. This will soften further over the next few years but doesn’t strike me as a long ager.

Not too shabby.
Good grip and acids. Needs time in the bottle. Presents with a regal profile. Understated fruit, but finishes with freshness and a hint of sweetness. Excellent potential.
