Tasting notes
Healthy dark red. Pure but reticent nose offers scents of dark berries and licorice pastille; at once slightly liqueur-like and fresh. Rich, fine-grained and sweet, but a bit less fruity and stylish than the 2016 version. This is ultimately tighter and more powerful and built to age. Doesn't show the finesse of the 2016 version in the early going but avoids coming across as hard.

(from vines planted in the early 1960s): Bright red-ruby. A musky touch of reduction to the ripe scents of raspberry, minerals, licorice and game. Nicely concentrated and smooth, conveying an element of finesse to its slightly medicinal dark berry and licorice flavors. Finishes with firm tannins and enticing violet perfume. The ripeness of the vintage comes through in this wine's impression of sweetness.
