A pretty solid wine, surprisingly youthful and in need of decanting if serving with a meal or something. Nose leads with cinnamon and warm spices, some mulled fruit. A bit darker fruited in profile (blackberry) without the charm I usually associate with 2017. Kind of rustic I suppose.

Nice sweet creamy nose with red fruits - strawberry, ripe cherry etc. Touch of young oak. Palate ripe strawberry and cherry with young oak and vanilla. Some liquorice and undefined stoney minerals. Good acidity.

Pronounced intensity on the nose with red cherry, sour cherry, black cherry, cranberry, violet, cloves, toast, cedar, forest floor, manure, and dried cherry. Developing.
Pronounced intensity and dry on the palate. High acidity, low tannins, medium alcohol, medium minus body, long finish.
Can drink now but has potential for aging or further aging.

Drinking beautiful after an hour in the bottle. Beautiful red fruits, cherry with touch of secondary notes. Palate is seamless with beautiful core.

Pale ruby.
High intensity manure, sour cherry, fresh red cherry, strawberry, all spice, cedar, vanilla, violet, tart cranberry, forest floor, cream.
Pronounced palate.
Medium (-) body, medium (+) acidity, long finish, medium (-) tannin.
Very cohesive, incredibly long creamy finish. This really came alive after a 2 hour decant.
