I liked the '18 vintage better for its complexity and terroir. This is more open, ripe, low tannins, but there's youth and freshness aplenty. Some mineral, but rather one dimensional, but still a lot of fun to drink.

Decanted for two hours. Anise, smoked blackberry, chocolate pudding, cassis, black cherry and pau d’arco tea. Long and flowing, with precision and fibrous tannins. So much grip on the back end and an engaging middle. Full body. Remains light throughout, despite the fullness. Wonderful today, yet aging is on the docket, with great intensity. Drink 2026 -.

Herb, mint, cassis, gravel, red fruit. Hearty tannin, medium acid, much less forgiving on the palate than some of the other wines in the tasting. Honestly, this still feels quite closed and needs a lot more time.
