Impressive bottle, big surprise as I hadn't had this wine before. Red and black fruits, some minerals and herbal notes. Integrated tannins. This performed so much better than many other 2017s I've had. Ready to go! Decanted and hour and consumed over 3 hours

Cedar and Kirsch scent. Thick earth, tar, licorice and blackberry flavor. Fine zippy tannins on the long finish. Heavy-handed style. Much better on day two. Calmed down and opened up.

This was a beautiful bottle of wine on a Friday evening.
Aroma was both blackberry & Blueberry juice with some background baking spices.
Tannins have smoothed quite nicely and the mouthfeel is just short of velvet.
More Blueberry on the palate and a descent finish.
