Dark cassis, herb and wild purple perfume florals. Ripe wild dark fruit blend, big clove, allspice, black licorice anise, black tea, soft leather and easy wood presence despite 75% new oak, perfect minerality and rich moist black earth, some brown sugar. The fruit in this wine is singing and really shines. Bright fruit and high acid equals good aging but this is drinking beautifully now.

Extremely complex and rich wine that explodes with lots of dark fruit, caramel, chocolate, licorice and eucalyptus on the palate. In some ways it almost takes on a Syrah like taste with interesting hints of roasted meats. Very nicely integrated but big and bold. Probably has a long cellar life if you can keep your hands off it!

Didn't have time to decant and was still lush black berries with smooth finish. Gets so much better with time.
