Calm and poised. A little tight. Some gnarly undertow and contained inky fruit. Less pretty than the other 01’z alongside.

Deep and purple. Violets and a richer plummy palate with a lighter cherry note. Oak resolving- pretty evolved considering its age. Quite unlike the others in its depth and thickness but tasty.

Perfumed with roses, muted black tea , leather, and red dried cherries...tannins powerful but ever so smooth and acid to match..

Ready to go, but will easily go another 5-15 years. A little oaky, surprising to me how much so.
