The nose is quite floral with hints of mainly black fruit. The mouth is really powerful but lacks layering and finesse. The drying tannins confirm the impression that this wine has been over extracted.

Nose somewhat closed initially but opens up after time in glass with red fruit aromas. Palate has significantly less energy than the 2017 VV tasted a few days ago and also much firmer tannins suggesting this needs a bit more time in bottle to really hit its stride. Prefer the VV which is much finer.
