Top Notes For

9.1

Sweeter aroma compared to the 2016 - find more hints vanilla, cherry and candied orange. Flavors are much more subtle too. Orange is big in the flavor and the tannins are closer to a dark chocolate/cocoa powder impression. Cherry comes back into the finish.

A deep ruby colored Bordeaux blend with rich, dark berry flavors and a clean finish. Really enjoyable.
