2013 Torbreck (Cuvée) Juveniles

Had Elle purchase this for me for xmas.
VERY aromatic, perhaps one of the strongest/most pungent nose ever.
Nose was Licorice, asphalt, rubber, strong floral notes as well along with sourdough and green herbs.
Palate showed rubber, funk and then brightened into black raspberry and cherry. A bit strange, a bit interesting. Others might just call it "off"

Had a few of these over the last few weeks.
Clear, deep purple with minimal meniscus.
Nose of rasp and cherry but palate bursts with the fruit and includes blueberry, blackberry and a hint of plum.
Savory elements include pepper, bramble and chalk.
Med+ body, length, complexity.

First of these and really enjoyed.
V - Clear/bits, medium garnet, med meniscus.
Stellar Nose. Cran/Rasp/Cherry with cocoa (!) and coffee, green herbs and a bit of licorice (Is this a pinot?).
Palate a nice balance of savory and fruit with plenty of acidity.
