2017 vintage is, unsurprisingly purple and inky. Olives come first on the nose, maybe with leather. Earthiness giving way to blackberry jam and baking spices.
This wine grips at your mouth. The palate shows indistinguishable berries and spices, tons of minerality, followed by sweat, or, if you prefer, leather. It ends with vegetal notes. It’s glorious, but will be better in 2-3 years or more.

The dryness, tannins & acidity of this wine paired well with braised short ribs. The ribs were accompanied by polenta & salad with Meyer Lemon vinaigrette. Very important pairing note - balancing acidity to cut richness but still give a pleasant mouth - feel. 2006 vintage - Floral notes weren't dominant for us. — 8 years ago
