Decanted for an hour. Very balanced wine with medium acidity and tannins. The blend seems to have softened the wine. Flavor: blackberry, black current, a touch of vanilla. Actually approachable, but will lay down the last bottle for a few years to see if the wine develops further.

A lean comparison to the other wines from this estate, the 2017 is definitely fruit challenged and unable to cloak the alcohol level of the wine. It has good acidity compared to the other years, and is probably a good candidate for mid term aging. Drink or Hold

Hour decant was OK, but this is still too young. Great bones and will get better with 3-5 more years.
