  Decent blend, improved in the glass...but nothing too inspiring. Would love to try a 2016 or 2018 as I think this might have suffered from a challenging growing season in 2017...

  Dark red --- Nose fruity, vegetables coming through, sour cherry, some flowery aspects --- Palate like velvet, fresh, fantastic acidity, fruity, cherries, some mahogany, nice tart note, some plum, some nuttiness --- Finishes pretty long on its fruity character and tart notes. Very nice vine, classy and tasty.

  Although I’ve been less than enamored with Nakedwines.com over the years, this was purchased through them during the pandemic. The two bottles of whites were excellent, so I had high expectations tonight, especially given the CT notes and scores. Decanted and enjoyed with grilled, spiced Tuscan pork loin, lobster ravioli in white fettuccine sauce and Brussel sprouts. Developing. Beautiful floral aromatics and fragrance. Definitely shows some upfront structure, with a melange of purple fruits, and a chewy mouthfeel, which enhanced the food. Looking for equilibrium with an obvious lack of definition. Finishes strong. Drink now with a decant and hearty food or hold through 2024 and drink by 2030.
