So damn cool and calm. Says a lot with few words. A deep, dark introvert, moves slow like a creeping fog. Barely there chocolate covered cherries, new leather, and violet. Velvet soft texture, metallic with a salty chew.

More red than dark fruited on the nose with savory notes of licorice, muted dark cherries, and a hint of brine. Light on the palate with nice acidity and medium, drying tannins followed by flavors of red berries, cherries, violets, and more brine. Quite long finish. Very good wine, but it feels a bit shut down at the moment. Needs air or time. Wait 5 years. 93+

One off bottle that rounded out a mixed case order. Old world style. Short finish, not a lot going on here. Was hoping for more.

Still quite austere with a mineral driven profile. Lots of elbows. Disjoint. Love Arnot-Roberts but this was a tough year.

Fruit forward in flavor but not texture. Airy and mineral driven on its feet. Very fine.
