Still young but smooth and integrated. Delicious dark plum and a solid core of gnarly fruit. Some dried herbs. Lovely balance. Fresh and intense. Needs time to really sing but very polished

Very intense: plum, black cherry, violet, blood, hints of fresh leather. Gorgeous balance and suppleness. A salinity and pungent fruit. Excellent, but young now.

Dark red fruit. Cherries, plum, tobacco, herbs. A lovely nose. Young but very good.

A fantastic bottle of wine! Huge ripe sour fruit and a wonderful 75 second finish that has a hint of plum, licorice, tar bubbles! If you find this wine put it in your cellar for 40 years if you want, it's got that kind of backbone
