A candidate for wine of the vintage due to all of its waves of dark red and black fruits, currants, blackberries, mint, spice, and crushed rock nuances. The wine is full, rich, vibrant, and balanced with purity to the fruits and lift in the lengthy finish. Give it just a few more years and it will really start singing. Drink from 2026-2060.

Dark ruby. Classic black fruits and menthol on the nose, with something truffley going on in the background which I suspect accounts for the oak. High acid, and beautifully integrated tannins which are almost imperceptible until the finish. At this stage the menthol note is the dominant one; overall sense is of something quite polite - nothing overly hedonistic about this. Will obviously improve.

Aerated for 3 hours in decanter. The tannins are very fine and approachable. But given the atypicity of 17 vintage, it lacks the usual depth of cab. It’s decent, and barely drinkable now. Should benefit from ageing in the next few years.

An absolute joy to drink. Dark ruby color, soft lush tannins, pillow-like layers, wonderful structure and such balance. Dark fruit currants that evoke the senses. Opened for Heekyung's birthday dinner here at the apartment with everyone, including the introduction of Ringo!
