Testing the thesis that the ‘18s are early drinkers and ready already now.
Fresh & open immediately up opening. With time evolves. Bit but still shows ripe cherry with some wilted flowers. Classic. But there’s also some strawberry, a bit of wet, turned earth. Fresh & inviting.
On the palate this is ready immediately after opening. Not decant needed. Fresh, juicy tannins, perfect balance, nice depth.
This is really nice, already now. Not the best out there (vintage? Wine?) but really nice. Keep your ‘16s & ‘19s in the cellar and drink what ready now!
