  Bought one bottle of 2017 and 2019 for 27€ each in SA.
  
  3h decant, which seemed fine. Incredible smooth palate with velvet tannins, tobacco, black berries, graphite, spices, light oak (20 months maturation in 225 L oak barriques from Sylvain & Saury) and a long finish.
  
  This bottle had a 94p Wine Enthusiast sticker on it.

  Perfect ripeness, velvety tannins, perfectly integrated oak. Pristine fruit, with a touch of spice and earth but very clean. Perhaps lacking complexity but very well done regardless.
  
  Rich and structured, drinking well now as tannins are in a great place, but certainly has some years left in it to develop further.
