Initially, a bit muted. But after a few minutes the dark fruit comes through. We’ll see if, like the ‘16, it needs some air time to shine. As expected, 3 hours later, wine is singing. Tannins soft, gorgeous black fruit, silky mouthfeel. Nice finish.

Solid structure, will age for a couple more decades for sure. But this wine is drinking very well, though I may lay my other bottles for another couple years at least. Wonderful wine! Favia always so good!
