Like an extremely high quality left bank bdx in a ripe vintage. Lots of graphite pencil lead and sweet pipe tobacco with rich earthiness. Not lacking any black fruit either. This wine is showing well now but i bet its even better in 10 years.

A bit light. It's good but not as bold as I want my wine to be at this price. Great flavours and a passive minerality nonetheless.

Drinks like a ripe Bordeaux - cedar, dark fruits, some Napa dust, graphite, cocoa, and a slight hint of tobacco. Fine tannins, good structure and a long finish.
