Potent AF. Deep dark blackberry cassis fruit with an herbal undercurrent I adore. Fruit-forward with licorice and pepper underlying it. Ultimately luxurious, also AF in the ranking. A heady bottling with nuance and flavor and a perky and bullheaded, it will find a way.

Showing some bottle development but still burly in style. Nose has some elements I associate with Napa Cabs, like an intense gravelly, dusty character, together with more Zinny elements of deep, oozy blackberry fruit. Also a funky humus-like mossy thing that almost veers into grilled asparagus. Quite complex. Big-boned and aggressive in the mouth, with loads of brambly flavors and a drying texture. Needs boisterous food.
