This wine needs decant for a long time. Overpriced even after discount from holiday season. Before opening, I tended to think that this might be a balanced drink It turns out that the acidity is overwhelming and the finish is medium and short. That said, the berries and oak flavor with good tannins are still there. This may be a potential wine for longer period of aging and SIGNIFICANT decant time for consumption.

Quite wide and appealing aromas with darker red berries, graphite, very clear tobacco, leather, licorice, pencil tip and really clear summer flower. Medium to full-bodied and quite juicy wine with a good mouthfeel of black currants in the tea in front of semi-ripe blackberries, leather, tobacco and light barrel seasoning. Good finish with nice acidity and tannin structure. Very good wine that can withstand 15-20 years. 93 points

醒酒接近三个小时,深宝石红色,闻香有烤面包,香草,草本植物的青味,还有奶油的香气,酸度中等,单宁紧涩,颗粒细腻,酒液咸,矿物感清晰,草本的青味和一些柔和的黑果香气,中等酒体,风格非常优雅,余味淡淡奶油。口感很干净,酒的结构不大,充分的醒酒让它此刻表现很平衡,可以早饮的一款酒。

Decanter Fine Wine Encounter (The Landmark, London): Sour red berry and currant, cedar, cream, palate same as nose, fresh juicy acid, drying chalky tannins. Not one of the better 2017s I've had.
