Big ripe forward fruit....delicious black blue fruit, silky tannin amd plush wine...acid present but not dominating in this wine..some earth and tertiary characteristics with vanilla and baking spices...be tough to get blind given the more modern style...but regardless, damn good...

Pure in its expression, spicy and stewed blue and black fruit dominate, while spice and damp clay earth jump from the glass

Still young. Earthy aromas with leather and graphite. Dark blackberry fruit. Needs decanting. Medium plus tannins, medium plus acidity. Long finish.
