One of my favorite. What a wine from Pritchard Hill. Very impressed by its structure, acidity and texture. Big wine.

Closed down vs. previous vintages but still some great fruit. Would give it a few more years at least.

Really impressive. Inky dark in the glass. Blue and black fruit. Graphite, stone, spice. Ripe fruit with a solid structure. All held together very nicely in a powerful full body, yet the tannins are silky. Nice dense powerful mouthfeel with a nice long finish. Drinking well now but I think I’ll hold on to my other bottles of the ‘17 for at least a couple more years in bottle.
