Fresh red fruit with some poached-pear and fig-like edges. Medium-to full-bodied with lots of flavor, fine and firm tannins and a long finish with dates and dried figs. Delicious, almost exotic character to this. Drink from 2022.

Delicate garnet; aromas of orange peel, red cherry, hints of strawberry and caraway. Medium-full with very good concentration. Good persistence, balanced acidity, elegant tannins and delicate wood notes. Nice sense of finesse to this wine; like many other 2017s, this is lighter than usual. Peak in 7-10 years, perhaps longer.
