Tasting Notes

Despite the fact that this is much less open and expressive than any of the preceding wines, there is simply another dimension present and the aromatic depth is flat out fantastic with earthy and pungently animale aromas that border on the feral and this intensely sauvage character continues onto the rich, powerful and exceptionally concentrated flavors that are brooding, mouth coating and there is so much energy present that this is like a coiled spring as the palate drenching finish explodes with spectacular breadth and depth. This doesn't have the sheer class of the very best here but it's a dramatic "wow" wine all the same with simply amazing dry extract levels.
