Not as good as previous bottles. Nice red fruit, and spices, but feels a bit flatter, a bit thin in the mid-palate. Maybe it’s just that i’ve had too many superior burgundies lately…:/

Had caught a few 2017s in a closed, ungiving, spot but this was great. A bit of (not unpleasant) reduction at first, it opened up quickly (in 30 minutes) and showed a nice black raspberry quality. Just a beautiful deep red fruit and some nice christmas spice. Still somewhat primary but so well-rounded, nice balance in every way, not super complex (yet?) but delicious. Was still very good the next day.

Excellent. In a really lovely place right now. Deep dark cherry and sous bois on the nose. Nice pipe tobacco too, smooth tannins. Full and deep and long. Just a delicious wine. Incredible with oxtail ragu pappardelle.
