Past vintages have been aight, but the 2014 is wild. Really good for the money. Camphor/eucalyptus sort of aromas made it fun to sniff. Lot of tannin here, but there's gobs of blueberry/cran raisin fruit. 100+ yr old vines.

Smells like Christmas. Green pine trees and just about anything like it.

A wild monster of animal, black pepper, dark red fruit and straight up meat. Definitely a bit of that Bret, animal stink, but so delicious in the end, and evocative of the region.
