I love this wine. The rarer of the two. And yes it somewhat smells like olives. Super stoney and very mineral. A deep core of black olive and dark berry fruit. Gorgeous classic old school character. Serious aromas. Smells like Bordeaux of yesteryear. Classic palate of 14 with terrific and vivid fruit and wonderful freshness. Incredibly mineral and edgy with lovely freshness and brilliant elegant tannins. Superbly complex and very concentrated with stunning depth and purity. A baby now and these have an insane track record of aging. Very cerebral and gutsy wine.
