2020 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 15 mins and 2 hours. Medium/medium-heavy body (as usual) first sampling. Meaty (but not beefy) with dark plum as backup/the club bouncer. Slightly chunky but eminently drinkable. Ff two hours and the body thinned out slightly with the club bouncer’s shift over. Dark plum gonzo and cola + Luxardo cherry now driving the party bus. Not quite as structured as the massive 2019 or as precious as the 2018. This is in a great spot now, if you must, and should be an absolute delight in 5-10 years. 3.6.25.

Mar 6th, 20262020 vintage. The overwrought 2018 vintage got the Wine Spectator wine of year honor whilst the 2019 showed better oomph and aging qualities. This was nice and pretty but lacking in either long-term structure or roided up, meaty goodness. 03.12.25
