Drank over 1 hour which was a mistake. This needed more time. Initially very closed on the nose but forward on the palate with loads of red fruit and spice with a bloody metallic note on the finish. Everything rounded out, particularly on the finish and the nose revealed plenty of spice at the end.

Slowly bt breathed for 2 hrs. Med to dark garnet, Complex nose of spices, smoke, floral and stem. Almost painfully concentrated, bitter sweet with just enuf acidity to complement a explosive mouth feel. Tannin slightly dry but matches the high level of extraction, more dark fruits from after taste that linger.

Pnp, clear garnet color. Wild floral note, anise, stem and some creaminess. Concentrated on palate with the same elements, mild sweetness melted well with sharp acidity, fresh and spicy, good balance. Med to long finish.

Not as forward on the nose, but still nice dark fruit and wet stone. Full and round in the mouth. She does so well with this vineyard.
