Powerful, expressive red fruit. Tannins for days. Aromas have developed beautifully.

Dec 30th, 2017Starting to sing, with black cherry (dried and fresh), dried rose, tar, black truffle, toast, licorice, cocoa, leather, mint, and blood orange. Attractively ripe and deeply extracted, but hews to the traditional style with gripping tannin and no obvious new oak. A wine of high density, length, and complexity, in its early stages of development.

Nov 29th, 2017Wow. Tis a baby, but it has presence! Concentrated herbs and fruit, tobacco and subtle florals. Sexy as hell tannins, tension and structure. It's lingering finish is power and elegance. It's a beautiful thing.
