Strong, dominating vanilla oak component that needs integration hopefully with time. Tastes of pears, caramel and cat pee. Well balanced. Refreshing acidity. Tight.

Apples, caramel and pear. Very well integrated oak. Nice mid palate depth and length in the finish.

Blackberries, blackcurrant, earth and charred french oak. A medium bodied wine that is impeccably well balanced with vibrant acidity. The focus and layers of fruit and texture in the mid palate are impressive. Long complex and elegant finish that stays with you for over a minute. A beautiful wine.

Midnight black in color. Tastes of blackberries and charred french oak. Rich and extracted. Full bodied with bright acidity. Powerful monolithic finish. Not giving up much at the point. Closed for business. Try again in a decade.

Blackberries, leather and earth. Rich and a touch over extracted to a point where it tastes a bit reduced. Powerful finish. Very young and closed. Quite tiring to drink.
