Still very lively. Great acid. Beautiful blackberries, cedarwood, and graphite on the nose. Moves into blue stone fruit and dark chocolate. Super fine tannins. Powerful but balanced. A beautiful wine.

An incredible balance between power and grace. Deep blackberry/blueberry fruit that dances gracefully across the palate with a hint of violets (Cote-Rotie?). Give this wine some time in your mouth and the secondary flavours explode at the end. Dark chocolate, cinnamon, tobacco, and spice. Perhaps a tiny hint of white pepper. A big and bold version of a Northern Rhone star.
