  Coravined. Inky plum color. Toffee, stewed cherry, and mocha on the nose. Smooth, dry palate. Firm, full, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish.

  One of the 2017 I’ve had that has showed really well. This was opened for awhile before presented.
  
  I would range this 93-94 after another 5-7 years in bottle with an outside chance at a 95 after 10 plus years in bottle. This 2017 will last 20 years from birth properly stored.
  
  This Addax has gorgeous texture and mouthfeel. It’s round, velvety, silky, big & lush. Tannins already round & soft. The structure, tension, balance & length are good now and show greater promise. Blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, some blue & purple fruits, dark chocolate, mocha, caramel, sweet tarriness, expresso roast, well layered baking spices; cinnamon, light nutmeg, clove & vanilla. Light dry crushed rocks & volcanics, soft leather, saddle-wood, fresh tobacco notes, hints of graphite, some dry brush, anise with beautiful fresh; dark, red & purple florals. The acidity is excellent & round. The big, lush, ruby, elegant, well balanced & knitted finish is beautiful across the palate. Solid experience wire to wire.
