Nose has confectionary up the wazoo. Cherries dropped in a vat of cherry dust. Lovely stoney background and serious lift. Really powdery and refined. Sure it will open more. Palate is lush, sweet and decadent. Loads of tiny berry sweet cherry fruit and likely definition and clarity. Right as to be expected and will improve with air. Very fresh with extremely fine tannins and length. Great acidity. This is a 20+ year wine no doubt.

This is very similar to the 2017. Just needs a bit more bottle age.
