Beginning with bold, expressive black fruit aromas in the glass, the 2017 Z offers juicy, blackberry essence with a dusty frame that is an instant success. Medium to full-bodied, the wine shows a balanced structure, with hints of reduction across the mid-palate that will allow this wine to age well past its 10th birthday. Concluding with a long-lingering and juicy finish, De Toren was absolutely able to capitalize on this fantastic vintage. Bravo!
This shows lots of fruit, with red and black currant, cocoa and damson plum notes, all backed by ripe but firm tannins. It is balanced and shows good depth, but this is for the fans of the riper style.
