The deepest nose of all the lineup with the most evident wood of the day. A brooding mix of spice, dark fruits, and some sarsaparilla. On the palate, it's sapid, rich, and deep with a wealth of fruit mixed with soil and loam. Primordial with i suspect lots of potential, but for me difficult to see where it is going. I think I just don't have the experience with this wine to see what happens when the wood integrates. Impressive for sure, but judgement reserved.

Pomegranate, red apple skin, smooth mouthfeel, quite a bit of unintegrated oak giving off chemical and lacquer notes. There's quality here, just needs time for the oak to integrate. I'd be thinking 2028 and beyond.

Deep purple color. Tons of raspberry, with hints of cola and spice. Medium/long finish.
