Epic Explosive from first pour. The density of fruit only grew along with the meaty and olive edge.

Had it February 2009.
Wine that doesn't exist anymore, one of the last vintage (if not the last indeed) of this fantastic winemaker.
Blood orange, red floral, irony, little herbaceous and funky at first. Balsamic of mint and cinnamon. Super long. I wonder what he could do in better vintages. Very good anyway.
