Phenomenal structure and quite expressive showing plenty of secondary character, as it approaches merely the cusp of maturity. Dried violets and red fruits tar, mushroom and well integrated earth. Finishes tremendously long with both balance and elegance.

Deep and brooding. Intense minerality and gaminess. Lovely stuff but years ahead of it

Gorgeous floral nose of rose petals. Raspberry, cherry, cranberry mix. On the pallet there's silky tannins, with a hit of acidity on the finish. Similar flavor profile to the nose with a bit of earth and balsamic notes. It can definitely use more time, but a beauty now.
