Had to double check vintage as both the smell & taste of this wine are so intense and young, this must have been a beast in its youth. Nose still has bags of primary red fruit along with a short rib, bloody meatiness to it. Beautifully rounded and silky in the mouth but still with a densely dark fruited structure and well resolved but present tannin. Excellent, so much still to give, should age excellently.

Very smoky, dried earth, dried leaves with lush, dark fruit, dark chocolate and minerality. Full-bodied, nicely balanced. A favorite from the region.
