Delicious. Still tight, hold if you can. Should you lose patience like me, you will still be rewarded with perfectly balanced notes of star anise, ripe cherry, herbs, sandalwood, and rose petals. Super chewy for sure, but wonderful, especially with pasta.

Good freshness to go with the strong grippy tannins, good acidity and balance, needs time, a touch rustic still on the finish. 89-90

Excellent, deep, dark and fleshier than some of the other single vineyards. Young.

Very tight out of the bottle and even with two hours in the decanter it was a huge wine with lovely tannins and strong acidity - did a great job of cutting through the fat of my steak! Had a very smoky flavor with strong cherry notes. Should age beautifully and I will be patient with my other two bottles.
