Spicy cedar box aromas. With a bit of funkiness. Three years since the last bottle. Fruit is very reigned in and barely there. The tannins are in control. Still strong but not overwhelming. Long finish. The wine has a hint of a strong tea. But overall lacking something. Not sure where this wine is going.

Open, fragrant but still with tons of tannin and acidity. Delicious, good now but also looking forward to the coming years.

Very young and linear. Too much tannin but a lot of promise. Very interesting.

This was excellent and balanced. A great portfolio of wines from a tiny producer (less than 18,000 bottles/ year).
