Tasting Notes

This is spicier still with an essence of black currant violet and plum scents that are framed in a touch of wood toast. There is good freshness and verve to the broad-shouldered, powerful and tautly muscular flavors yet the robust character is softened by the same very fine-grained tannins that all of the prior wines display. I very much like the quality of the underlying material and while the tannins may be refined, they're also dense and this will clearly require extended cellar time to arrive at its full potential.Drink 2026+
