As young as this wine is, it’s soft and elegant. The fruits are; thick, ripe, very rich and elegant. Blackberries, black plum, plum, black raspberries with notes of haunting blue fruits. Molasses, caramel, mocha, clove, vanilla, dry crushed rocks, stones, dry stems, black licorice, lavender, lilacs and violets. The round acidity is very nice. The finish is; big, rich, thick, ripe and lasts over two minutes. It’s fault, another wine that burns the throat and palate with too high of an alcohol level.

Soft, approachable now. In comparison, the 2016 is concentrated, powerful, tannic. Let that one age and drink this now.

Nose initially closed but opened to cherries & chocolate, body full & rich. This wine needs several years before it’s ready to enjoy. Be patient,
