What a fun wine. 2014 definitely an undervalued vintage. Funky, nice acidity, firm & juicy tannins. Had a really cool mushroom/earthy note going on in the mid-palate. Nice pepper on the finish.
92 pts. Wish I had another!

Medium nose of black pepper. Still young with powerful tannins. Lovely black pepper on the palate. Later Some leather and tobacco notes. Medium length.

Early drinking, open, medium bodied, soft textured wine. The character here is about the peppery, kirsch and strawberry center with nuances of underbrush, herbs and olives.
