Long Shadows Chester Kidder - 2017 (750ml) Private Collection Fine tannins and bright acidityAromas of black fruit, anise, vanilla, cocoa and other barrel spices are followed by pitch black, rich, hedonistic fruit flavors that bring the acidity and tannin structure of the vintage. It's intense, but with plenty of sophistication. A lengthy finish caps it off. Best after 2025. Sean P. Sullivan Wine Enthusiast 93 points
