Lovely mushroom emerges within a lovely and gracefully aged malbec showing appropriate raisination. Tulip, violet, hibiscus and rosemary-beef; bllackberry and cocoa, cracked pepper. Dense coloration just brimming on brick. Concentrated plum and cinnamon collide with tobacco, cedar and savory as well as slightly sour cherry and roobios.

2018 vintage.
Whole cluster pressed and fermented in a combination of 50 % stainless steel, 25 % French oak and 25 % concrete tulip tanks. Rested 9 months on the lees then bottled without fining.
Aromas of lemon blossom, caramel and nutmeg.
Smooth flavours of ripe golden apple, yellow pear and almonds with a creamy Stoney minerality on the finish.
Very well balanced at 13.5 % ABV. — 3 years ago

Gorgeous garnet, star bright reflectivity. Rim to rim continuity. Cedar dusted black cherry and strawberry glow warmly in a vanilla and baked cran and ripe red currant dappling. There are red apple leanings and roobios-tulip whispers in a complex and seductive nose that stoops in bushes of thyme and all spice pods. Rich mouthfeel exhibits bits of its green youth, but has unveiled to reveal its abundance with a lengthy decant. Tart cherry and sweet tobacco, tart raspberry essence, dried violets and rose petal, dried strawberry and beet soaked thyme. Grossly underrepresented in this assessment, as the whole is like a wondrous river in a florid wood undulating with ripples of fallen blossoms. Astounding.

Smoky nose exhibiting a graphite streak; stewed, baked, and braised meats with cranberry, plum, black currant and black olive, cedar plank and tobacco eyelid that flutters between oak and violet. Graphite and iron lead the Connecticut shade entry, clove and pepper pop into view, dried rose petal and violet, tulip; firm tannins, super structured and complex!

Deep ruby.
Nose is initially a bit shy. With air, in tulip glass and paired with homemade shepherd's pie; this shows juniper berry, bitter cherry pit/bark, bracing digestif herbs. In a big Burgundy stem, shows some rose hip, acerola, crushed creosote leaf, damp pine forest. This is one heck of a complex nose.
Palate is medium bodied, tannins are fine, long and surprisingly dry, not on the mid palate but one the finish with a black tea/amaro like bitterness that lingers.
I really wish I had more as this is my last bottle. — 4 years ago
