I was surprised to see it was a 2017! This has got some years behind it and it’s showing nicely. The tannins while still firm have melded really nicely into this, and at 14.5% this is wine with a big, structured body. The fruit profile has mellowed together as a mix of red and black plum primarily. Where this wine really shows is high in the nose and mid palate where spices, meatiness, and leather come through loudly. I kept getting sensations of things like coriander, pepper, and smoked meat that made me envision a pastrami on rye, which would probably be a fantastic pairing with this.
