nose with cherry, iron, dry cola, skunk, and green brush. palate lean, lively, and earthy. dark cherry flavors with strong notes of iron and mineral verve. healthy dose of stemmy astringency on the finish but i like it. works well with food. medium length finish. well made, definitely distinctive. in a good place now, probably peak, good for 5+ years.

Dark burgundy color. Floral palate of primarily violet. Blackberry and currant w/ dark cherry. Most of the flavor is upfront and mid-palate but it doesn't disappoint in the finish. A special treat.

Already showing signs of maturity with its garnet colour and mature nose with some leather, tea leaves, deep red fruits. Very soft and embracing on the plate, with nice acidity. The wine can be enjoyed now, but can cellar for just a few more years.

funky, mature nose, palate was very green, like fresh stems, in a bad way. perhaps an off bottle

Agree with others--darker fruits, brooding notes. Bright acid and fruits on the attack and mid, but short on finish.
