Vondeling Wines Philosophie 2017

97 | A harmonious nose with intense fruit and attractive earthy tones. Blackberry, roasted beetroot and subtle leafy tones. The palate is have richness and gorgeous flow. The wine is a richer style but done well. Beautifully complex, harmonious and bright.

90 | Oaky, somewhat stale bouquet.Some earth and tobacco, raspberry/tomato; chewy tannins and lacks charm and accessibility, still very firm and quite drying.

89 | a touch overripe, sappy, oak and tart red fruited, a hedonistic style, tannic edge and mineral driven finish

95 | Still looks super primary. Lots of ripe black and blue fruit. Quite impactful tannins cloak the palate. But there is an intensity to the fruit. Needs time
