Very promising. Save for a few years. Good tannin with excellent dark fruit. Needs time to soften the tannin and let wine open. Suspect its going to be a stellar 2019.

Did a tiny vertical of the 2018 and the 2020. Easily tell that the 2018 was older more brown notes in the color. 2020 brighter red and fruit forward. 2018 is more reserved in the bouquet. Complex fruit in the tasting, very elegant body, smooth and deep into the palate. With more fruit on the bouquet would have given it a higher score. the 2020 is brash, a tad harsh but fresh. Give it more time to smooth the edges off.
