My last bottle of the ‘17. Great wine at the price, same comments as before. Big black and red fruit, grippy tannins.

Same comments as before. Great wine from the 2017 vintage.

Same notes as before. Not quite as long a decant needed as prior, almost pnp now. This wine is top shelf at its price level, gorgeous rich dark blackberry, cassis liqueur, nice big dense mouthfeel and medium plus finish.

Must decant, right out of the bottle it’s a little green, but cassis still comes through. Give it 45 min plus and it’s a treat. Dark black fruit, well integrated silky tannins, slightly dense full mouthfeel with nice long finish. I just love this wine.

Decanted 45 min, firm yet silky tannins, lovely lingering finish, dark cherry, toffee, not big fruit, much more subtle, but the wow factor is there. Fantastic. Can’t wait to see this one age a few. Very drinkable now.
