One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. No sediment. Moderate black currant aromas during decant. Wine was clear: still dark from bowl to rim. After resting: blackberry, leather, fines herbs. In the mouth: seamless wine (albeit still a little young) with perfect balance, showcasing dark fruit, cocoa and sweet fruit at the end of a long finish.

Aerated and decanted 2.5 hours. Young and primary but accessible. Dark berries, dark chocolate, grainy tannins, mineral earth. Delicious cookie dough. 94+

Bold and silky with dark fruit, tannins a touch rough but accessible. Excellent 2017 ready to drink.

Deep purple. Blackberries! Coffee, goat cheese, peppery, some astringency.
