Beautiful color. Burn copper around the rim. Nose of pomegranate, tart red cherry, dusty minerals, dry dirt, old cellar. Dusty tannins dry out the mouth quickly. Really delicate and quickly fading acidity. Palate has the dusty minerals, sand, tart red fruit, tree bark. The tannins tell me wait another 1-2 years, but the acidity says drink. The drying tannins hide the palate a bit. — a year ago

5-6 hr decant and still definitely drinking very young. I’m on day 3 open now and a pretty dry leather cooked earth with a mixture of dry dirt and lavender fields, a touch of eucalyptus, roses, sun dried wet stones, and inky black fruit all waft into the nose. After a few more sniffs black cherry filled dark chocolate works it’s way in. It’s lovely. Almost chalky tannin structure that coats the top of the tongue with loads of acidity that wash that away down the sides. This has length in structure. The palate matches the nose pretty well and in similar order. A bit more leather, some potpourri and purity in the (black) fruit, minerality. This is lovely now, but may start hitting its full stride in 5-10 years and I can see it lasting another 10-20 years. I need more. — 2 years ago

I’ve been drinking this slowly over a week and a half. At this point it tastes like a fortified or mulled wine. It’s deep, inky like ox blood, burnt copper color around the rim. The smell is mulled red fruit, raspberry, strawberry, dry earth, purple flowers, sweet lavender. Very delicate tannins remain with an acidity that tickles the edges of the tongue and fades quickly. What you’re left with is something that resembles a young fortified wine with beautiful red fruit, earth, a floral element that lingers, and a slight hint of mushroom. It’s quite lovely and unexpected. — a year ago

If there is a rose to age and still come out fresh, this is it. It comes across a bit orange wine, with a bit of sweet petrol nose. Strawberries, watermelon rind, crisp watermelon, blood orange. It’s fantastic. Wish I bought more. — 2 years ago

This is fantastic. For 5 days the nose was beautiful with roses, potpourri, bright red fruit, cinnamon stick, clove. Tannins are lush with punchy acidity, not overbearing. The nose transfers through to the palate with dry dirty, tree bark, minerals. There’s a beautiful purity to the fruit. This tastes young and I can’t wait to see how it develops. Now I need to find more. — 2 years ago

Lovely wine. Pale straw color. Nose of sage, seashells, salt and green fruit, maybe (maybe) lemon rind. Acidity hits right away at the top of the tongue and quickly transitions around the outside, then lingers deep into the long finish. On the palate there’s green apple and sage, seashells, sea salt, and a touch of sea foam. Green apple skin lingers. Fuller body. I can really go for oysters right now. — 3 years ago
