Notes

It’s a strong wine, and I don’t mean in alcohol, but rather in structure, in that it’s sinewy, firm in tannin and acidity, with a fair amount of high quality oak in tow. Blackberry, boysenberry, raspberry, tobacco and cedar, baking spice, with a flicker of mint and sweet grassiness, and dried flower perfume. It has concentration of fruit, pulls quite savoury with more of that tobacco, and black olive, offers a firm redcurrant crunch to acidity, firm gravelly and grainy tannin, nutmeg and iodine, and pulls long and fresh on the finish. Lots of crunch and energy, and intensity too. I want to say something poetic, like it runs on rails of steel, but there you have it. It’s an outstanding wine regardless. 95+pts -Gary Walsh, TWF
