December 10, 2023 - Color deep dark ruby and clear. 5
Open and primary at 1 hour. Blackberries, cedar, tar, anise and sage with apparent brightness on on the nose. Some heat. 12
Plush and full palate. Dry and fruit forward attack followed by layers cascading through every expectation. Finishes with impressive minerality. 18
This is another truly special wine from my favorite plot in the region. 8
