This wine is lovely. Both floral and meaty, more savory than spicy, but super elegant and approachable, especially for the power of the vintage. Drink or hold. But very drinkable.

Great wine!!! Soft and drinking well now. Nose is not overwhelmingly gamey, ripe dark fruit and great floral and herb notes. Palate has a great tannin structure that provides a buttery mouthfeel, peppercorn, fresh reb and blue fruit and light acidity. This wine dances elegantly between characteristics and keeps evolving through drinking.

2014 vintage, from 2 plots, 100% new oak. Surprisingly smooth.

(16+/20) Аромат печёной сливы и вишни с тонами выдержки в дубе. Тельное с довольно высокой кислотностью и жёсткими вяжущими танинами. Нужно время, чтобы танины смягчились. Пока молодо и мощно. #DVR2017
