  45 minute decant. Light nose of black raspberry and grasses. Soft palate of raspberry, violets, fresh thyme, and punk thistle. Palate delivers iron, rocks, light tannins, light black pepper, and dry purple fruits. Unexciting and fairly soft.

  Whoa…what a transformation after two hours of air…highly recommend. Great nose of bacon, earth, spice. Taste is bold and alive. Not gamey but perfectly balanced. Wow

  Dark in the glass. Nose of red licorice, wet stone, and wet leaves. Very little fruit on the palate, showing mostly stone and earth. Not a lot of tannins, either, so I don't think this will be a long-aging wine. Good, just a lighter vintage.

  Unlike the reserve which is brighter and more fruit forward, the trick with the 2017 prestige is oxygen. Give this baby an overnight in the fridge and you’ll be rewarded.

  PNP on this beauty. Nose is strong perfume of earth, sweet plum, and dark fruit. This is more full than medium bodied. Bold taste with lots of tannin that gives way to mineral and graphite. This wine has a lot more aging potential than the CDP reserve from RS. Great wine built to last.
