13.3% abv. Deep purple-red. Medium+ body. Medium- acids. As fresh as when released. Superlative fruit, balance and structure. Ideal with food, and opened like a flower over the courses of dinner. On top of the world drinking (a reminder of the Dundee tasting room). Will extend our window by several years.

I don't normally drink them this young, but I was just overtaken by a fancy for it last night; don't ask me why. I was impressed by another 2017 opened a few months ago. Lighter color than many recent vintages; also a nice opulent aroma. Lush, red and black cherry, spice and grip. Very pleasant now but will live for some time.

If you like forest floor, this is your wine. Much different from my previous bottle.

Very earthy, forest-floor, profile. Loved it. Drinking well.
