2017 Review: A medium-bodied wine that captures the great vintage and frames it with a delicate framework or French oak. There are red fruit notes along with black, and fine, faintly earthy tannins adding to the texture of what will be a near-endless future. Drink to: 2047; Date Tasted: July 2019; Alcohol: 13.5%; Rating: 97 Points; James Halliday Wine Companion
