Classic Bordeaux nose, with prominent cedar and graphite notes. These notes also dominate the palate. There's an odd metallic note on the finish, which takes away a point or two. Probably not going to improve, but should keep another 3-4 years.

Ruby colored. Nose has blueberries and cedar. Taste has lots of graphite and a spicy undercurrent that is a bit stinging on the lips, oddly. More acid than tannin but not unpleasant.

Odd showing for a 2016 in that there's a bit of brett and most people have worked out those kinks nowadays... at any rate, beyond that this comes off as hot and aggressive.

Sap, maple syrup, blueberries. Very nice tannins. The cedar influence is irresistible.
