Tasting great. Violets, woodsy component, wild concentrated tart berries, currants, almost a hint of tobacco in the finish. So lovely.

Gorgeous. Has years left in the tank. Nose is fresh with flowers, fresh berries, some earth. Palate has a lot of tannin but also berries, baking spice, eucalyptus, stone. Lovely

Very smokey at first, but balanced out after a good decant. Big dark fruit, leather, and pepper. Very chalky tannins.

Another cold climate version Storm vineyard from the Los Olivos Cafe in CA. Quite tart. The ITER was better but had also 2 more years. No barnyard. Graphite mostly seems closed very little apparent fruit - tried over 2 days - smokey? Hard to read @ the moment. I hope it comes around.
