I was sent this sample as well as the 2018 release. To have them side by side was an excellent experience. You could see where the 2018 is headed - the DNA is clear.
Black fruits are still prominent, its delivery is sleek and just had me saying wow. Polished, there is still a sense of youth about its presence if you can you believe it. But time has shone the spotlight on its savoury highlights with a chorus of cloves, char, tar, leather touches, sooty char all singing in unison. A wine that glides through the mouth, delicate sheets of soft and fine tannins seemingly never end. Impressive and then some.
Savoury this now for the next five years.
