Wild, bracing, cerebral. Every glass was a different wine. Seemingly over-mature at first, then a complete about-face by the end if the bottle. Fresh and dried fruit, honey, woolly, stony, crushed flowers, salt, tea leaves, sweet spice.

Went from pure to showing too much oak back to super lean and well integrated over the course of two hours. What a fascinating journey this bottle took me on. Would love to see this evolve over the next 5+ years.

Love the concentration and texture, although this bottle shows more apple-cider character than previous bottles.
