Decanted off its sediment. Full, dark garnet color with bright tones and medium-clear garnet edges. Aromas of black cherry, ripe strawberry, cocoa nibs, fresh lavender, damp earth and turmeric powder. Succulent cherry & berry fruit on the palate, with interesting secondary integration of worn leather, root spices, oolong tea and turned soil. Medium bodied with rich density and length, moderate integrated acid and smooth full tannins, finishing with zesty length of black cherry and cola nut.

Bottled under Nomacork. Bright, dark-garnet color, medium depth. Aromas of black raspberry, mesquite char, green peppercorn, fresh violet and sous bois. Succulent and racy cherry and raspberry flavors, with secondary green tea, mushroom, dried floral and black pepper. Medium-bodied, with taut acid, lean sinewy phenolics and dense fleshy tannins, closing with medium length and notes of succulent fruit and hints of fresh mint and thyme.

Bright, light gold color. Expressive aromas of orange blossom, lime, quince, jasmine, ginger and chalk powder. Succulent and juicy on the palate, with zesty citrus and white stone fruit, along with powdered ginger, crushed stone, verbena and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied with fleshy mineral core density, piquant acid and zesty moderate length.
