Full spectrum, leather, cassis, dried purple flowers. Bellowing tannin on palate, still showing tons of power. Another 10yrs easy.

Still young with a ways to go. Very underrated vintage and wine. An outright song compared to recent offerings and almost as good. Sweet dark fruits on the nose, with bright acidity and structure. Classic fruit, leather, tobacco profile. Great stuff, but still needs more time

Freh red fruit Flavors, secondary notes developing, firm chalky tannins, fine on the palate. Young but already approachable.

I love La Mish and this is one of my favs! So aromatic and complex showing sweet black fruits, tar, earth, cedar tobacco, soy and black olive. This has reached its peak drinking window and will drink well for at least another 5 yrs.
