Brown rim, dark core. Dried berries, herbs, currant. Very intense. Same impression on palate but weaker. Alcohol and acid in balance. Smooth tannins. Very enjoyable.

Last of 12, opened 80 minutes, perfect level, dry and crumbly cork, more brown on rim, fruit softer, more attractive and better integrated with tannins, greater complexity, lovely, no rush. F+ (18).

9th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, brown rimmed but much better than 2016 bottle, fruit still vigorous, just lacking in nuance and zip for better than F (17.5), best to drink up.
