  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    The 2017 displays concentrated, warm, rich and aromatic fruit. the palate is rich and juicy but more broad and tannic, with lots of power and a finish that is rather saturating more than stimulating, although there is fine mineral acidity on the finish that will lift the wine as soon as bottle aging takes away a bit of the baby fat. (Stephan Reinhardt - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Mar 31, 2020)
