CRITIC REVIEWS
Georgina Hindle
Lovely perfumed fruit on the palate, this has well integrated tannins that have a soft gentle mouth coating texture, with excellent juicy appeal straight away. Really quite herbal here, lots of mint and eucalyptus with tons of liquorice and some mint chocolate. Like the 2016, everything is so well balanced, just giving you hints of different elements. Here it is the cool blue fruit, liquorice and mint. So well executed, defined, precise and svelte. It is mouthfulling too though, you know this is a big wine with plenty of power and structure but so supple and agile. Excellent precision. Still super young and a bit shy, its not giving away all its secrets right now but youd never guess this was from a warm, ripe vintage such is the freshness. Such class on show.

Signature smoke on the nose, but with broader, more nuanced fruit than the 2016. Theres an almost leafy bitterness here, and a touch of minty character. Dry, meaty finish. Just a touch of heat from alcohol. The chewiness is starting to relax, making this drinkable now, in structure if not yet in complexity. (RH)
