American Club, Hong Kong. Very primary, all Cab Blend exhuberent fruit. Neither overly modern nor cloying. Walks the line between classic and ripe vintage. I would be curious to compare with the 16. This has the stuffing to age. Strikes me as too young now but should settle in nice drinking window 5 years hence.

Very impressive for a second wine. A real luxury feel, well integrated oak, ripe friot, black currant, tobacco; young, but not impossible to drink. 92+ #podcast

Deep red/purple. Plum and black cherries. Some blackcurrant . Violet and dusty herbs coming through. Very primary still. Rich and plush on the palate. Obviously young, but enjoyable now.

decent enough but also tongue-purplingly tannic. If I want a wine like this I wouldn't be reaching into the Bordeaux basket.

Very nice wine. Still pretty young and rough, probably needs a few more years
