Tannins are heavy at 8.5/10 and it goes minerally and steel in the austere finish. Not a wine you would drink by itself. There is a small bitterness in the finish.
There is no mid-palate almost at all.
This as well as the Dragon's Terrace and Bench are no available for sale at all.

Quintessa tasting with Larry Stone (The Jefferson Hotel - DC): Grown on volcanic tuff this is the most austere and thin of the 3 cabs.
