Note di degustazione
Love this, back to the crushed rose petals, delicate white pepper, capsicum and pomegranate, with mouthwatering oyster sapidity on the finish. It is from this point, in what was a relatively challenging vintage, that you start to see how Kirwan is regularly delivering great wines with appellation typicity. 50% new oak for ageing, 38hl/h yield. Eric Boissenot consultant, Philippe Delfaut director.

Tasted blind. Deep ruby. Slightly caramelised red fruit, this has a sweet, soft nose. This follows on the palate, but there is an edge of sharp acidity cutting against this ripeness. This works to diminish the fruit towards the finish, which is framed by pithy tannin. (TP)
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Kirwan has a nose of baked black fruits, herbs and earth with balsamic, smoked meats and spice box. Medium-bodied, it has just enough fruit and is a little firm, chewy and cedary with a woody finish.
The 2017 Kirwan has a highly perfumed, very floral bouquet. It is almost like walking into your neighborhood florist! The palate is rich and silky smooth on the entry, a very concentrated Kirwan with saturated tannins. Certainly one of the richer takes of the vintage within the appellation, it just needs more delineation and terroir expression on the finish. Maybe it will with time? One for the cellar.
Informazioni sul produttore
Philippe Delfaut has been integral to the transformation of Ch. Kirwan, taking an estate known for its lavish, Michel-Rolland style and bringing more classicism – with increased precision in the vineyard and winery.
