“A subtle vegetal aroma accents the central theme of black cherry and blackberry fruit, picking up warm spice notes as this plays out on the palate. Floral and mineral elements peek through as this builds to the lengthy finish. The tannins leave a dusty impression. Best from 2022 through 2038.”

“This is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction with a more moderate amount of oak influence as well. Otherwise there is both good lift and punch to the attractively mineral-inflected middle weight flavours that possess a lovely mouth feel if not nearly the same mid-palate density while exhibiting a lingering and youthfully austere finish where a touch of oak surfaces.”
