I Coravin'd a healthy glass of this ~6weeks ago which I believe has accelerated aging compared to other notes on this vintage.
Has a pleasant weight across the palate but is a bit sweet (due to CV?) for my taste, particularly from syrah stems. When sampling out of a traditional Cab stem the sweetnesses dissipates somewhat and the finish is less hot and more broad across the palate.
I think it's time to replace the needle. Rating based on what I believe this wine is without Coravan's impact.

Medium dark red; lovely fruity nose, some licorice, cheries; really smooth, rounded, soft and silky with quite some power (15.5%) - was tasted with lamb tagine, clearly a good choice, needs powerful food to match; on the sweet side in the aftertaste, not stewed in any way, but you need to like the style to appreciate this kind of wine

Too young. Big and bright. This wine needs more time. Good amount of black currant and forest floor.

Pretty much like the 2019, just a bit younger and a tiny bit less expressive.

For a wine to have such fruit forward taste to it and come off as velvet, on the palet is amazing
