Mocha, black truffle, cassis and soy on the nose. A little brett on the palate of saddle leather with some bright acid on the finish. Medium weight tannins suggest drinking over the next 3-4 years.

Needs time. Starts off all oak and funk. Oak recedes with time in the decanter, leaving a medium bodied, savory ball of earth, coffee and mint, with some dark fruit lurking underneath. Really raspy texture, without much focus or detail at this point. Let it sleep. Came alive a bit with hard salty sheep’s cheese.
