Medium to dark garnet with brick edges. Tight on the nose to start with some spices, pepper, roses, a bit of tar and anise. In the backend of the nose there is a bit of blue fruits and a little sweet spices. Heavy tannins (8/10) with a medium plus to full bodied. Savory and earthy on the attack with olives, branches, and leather. With a little more air it got juicier and some perfumey notes. Super dry and long finish. Very approachable with around thirty to an hour in the glass, with more blue fruits coming out. Drink till 2026.

Figs, rose water and cedar on the nose. Dusty tannins which are classic Rutherford. Pretty good example of Nebbiolo, not Piemonte in style by any means, but the flavors are there without a doubt.
