Really big and bold, but as of 2024 the ‘18 vintage is still immature. It’s going to be beautiful and delicious though and hopefully smoothes out. Strong acidity and mouth watering tannins. There are lots of dark fruits mixed with some sour cherry and other tart red berries. Chocolate and spice, medium vanilla tannins. I’ll sit on my other bottles for a few more years.

Tobacco, leather, graphite, and
cocoa powder on the nose. Powerful and tannic on the palate but with a pleasant black fruit sweetness and eucalyptus.
