Thrilling stuff. Leads with hay, pu erh tea, sage, celery salt, and smoke. Crystalline, bone dry, and mouthwatering. This wine is a treat to savor and think about.

I thought this wine was somewhat disjointed by brooding tannins out of the bottle. Lemon verbena, chamomile, granite. However, it started to feel complete when paired with a meal. I'd say drink now with food or wait a year to try on its own. Drank with shrimp scampi orzo and Greek salad. EDIT: I enjoyed this wine more on day two. It felt much more integrated.

Opened 3 hours before drinking, which made a positive difference in the wine. Black raspberry, olive, blood, espresso, iodine, barnyard, and a saline finish. Unmistakeable Rocks funk. Gorgeous and generous with immaculate structure. No rush to drink these, and no problem drinking now with some air.
