Wow! Incredible nose, so much going on, this wine just gets more and more amazing. The Rocky River bed, complete with butterflies and pastures - this wine just takes you places that make you happy! Sea salted Carmel, Smokey dark stone fruit, finish lasts and lasts. So very yummy!

Dark violet, nose dominated by creosote, lavender, menthol, against a restrained red fruit background. The tarry dimension is also evident on the palate, which seems wild and intense. Should be better with a year or two to integrate in a cool cellar, but kind of awkward now. I initially thought this might eventually merit 91, but over an hour in the glass it felt less and less integrated, so I’ll score it 89 for now.
With more air, I felt that this slipped and developed a vegetal note.

Very sharp on initial drinking.Then it blew off. So i'd recommend some Air before tasting.
