A stunner. Just a stunner. Nose is black olive, green olive, tree bark, loads of granite and earth, some spice and some lovey high toned berry aromas. Another mesmerizing nose. Palate is juicy and elegant with terrific inner mouth aromas and awesome velvety tannins. So so juicy as pure. The tannins and red velvet finished with granite. Man this is long. An ethereal and deep nose. Just amazing fruit and intermingled with olive and such unreal juiciness. Wow, inner mouth olives and dark berry. Elegant, complex, concentrated and no hard edges. Super long and elegant finish. Insanely complex and also serene and zen. Massive step up over brilliant 2016. Insane I am giving this a 9.6. This is only 16 year old vines. But it has earned it. My god this is so clean, pure, deep, balanced and fresh.
