Like a long and enjoyable walk through the forest. You've got your berries. You've got your wood. And you've got the fear.... fear of the big bad wolf.

Crescendo of dried berry, cherry, and darker pitted fruit notes. CS and CF come out with a green tobacco and spiced herbal notes. Umami. Leather, meaty, gamey like lamb, and warm spice. Porcini, sandalwood, sarsaparilla. Palate has this upward energy to it, everything has lift and rise across the palate. Considerable acidity that shines through the sleek tannins. A beautiful wine. Day 2: fig and denser fruit on the mid-palate with rich notes of cocoa coming across. Acidity has integrated making the wine more velvety than before. Even better with snow falling outside.

Seemed like a good choice for steaks on the grill. Red currant & a mild fig/date component on the back of the palate. Length is unreal as is the exceptionally mild palate weight for such a powerfully fruited wine. Acidity is in front of tannins right now. Accessible, but has plenty of life ahead.

Смягчающийся со временем чуть редуктивный серный тон, черносмородиновый конфитюр, сливовая шкурка, черника, вишнёвая косточка, зелёный перец, травяной биттер, соевый соус, сухая кора, эспрессо, земля. Среднее тело, активная кислотность, суховатые танины. Спело, структурно и глубоко, компактно сжато, местами угловато, с чуть выпирающими пиразинами. Неоднозначно, но уверенно удерживает внимание.
