Deep nose of dark berry fruits, dark cherry fruits and chunky earth and wet soil. Somewhat refined which is unusual for MDA. Palate is super concentrated and sleek. Good purity and concentration. Terrific refinement. Velvety tannins and superb finesse. Lovely tiny berry fruit intensity and length. Like if one of the polished traditional Rhone guys (Durand, Tunnel) made MDA. Lovely stuff and lots of upside. Gets more rustic and charming while retaining its sleek fruit. Stoney tannins. Very ripe. Terrific.

On open nose is that deep dark blackberry fruit. Graphite. Wow.

Palate is insane. Huge vibrancy. Blackberry. Mineral. Dense. Incredible. Long. So well made. Some licorice and spice. Some earth

Long finish.

More cornas than fluffy montepulciano on open.

As this breathes nose is more menthol. Palate is deep dense plum. Great structure. Juicy.
