Lean styling with plenty of citrus and good length. Eminently drinkable, while slightly simple. Approx 1/2 each Semillon and Sauv Blanc.

Bright red cherry aromas and flavors with a touch of earth on finish. Very tasty now, in its peak drinking window.

Dense red and black cherry aromas and flavors with meaty notes and a firm tannic finish. Fun richness faintly emerged, but still firm and backward. Good weight, very good length. Better from 2027.

Red and black cherry with a bit of candied fruit and sweet spice. Very good concentration for its level, ending with brightness and finesse. Very good now, but this can certainly be cellared as well.

Red cherry with traces of roasted meat and woodsy spice. Good weight, very good balance. Drinking very well now, good for another decade+..

Big and brawny for the '17 with lots here, but somewhat awkward today, even seeming nearly disjointed. I expect this will come together at some point in the future when its (very) firm center softens, but I have trouble projecting when that will be.

flawed
A controversial wine tonight. There was no discernable flaw, but this was thin and slightly stripped vs previous bottles I have tasted. I was told it was richer when first opened, making me think it faintly corked. Nonetheless, almost half the table thought this one of their favorites tonight, and I also found it certainly drinkable.
