Compared to 2018, 2017 feels softer and less arresting on the nose - more mellow, with fewer flowers and less vibrant fruit. Dark tea, licorice, and a faint trace of cured meat give it a savoury edge. It started off closed but gradually opened up, offering better acidity and a juicier palate. Chewier than 2018, less delicate perhaps, but also less austere. There's a touch of sweetness in the finish that rounds it out, though it still feels like a quieter sibling.
