Porseleinberg 2017

Ripe but restrained, red fruit and spice leaning more to the cooler spectrum. Very mineral and cool on the pallet with lots of fruit and a present tannin giving it the purity and fresh sense that is the trademark of the Porseleinberg soils. Very good indication of the growing conditions and the vintage which will definitely evolve very well with time in bottle.
