Tasting notes
Turned earth, redcurrant and raspberry – beautifully aromatic, towards a somewhat feral edge. Finishes with slight bitterness. It's very good, but this doesn't seem like the best bottle. (RH)

Saturated deep red. Profound aromas and flavors of red fruits, crushed rock, red licorice and smoky minerality; a wonderfully complex, pure expression of soil. Like liquid silk in the mouth but also incredibly concentrated and alive, showing a restrained sweetness and savory saline minerality. Wonderfully sappy and energetic on the extremely long, echoing finish, where the wine's refined tannins are perfected buffered by its mid-palate extract. Despite this wine's underlying power and guts, it maintains an essentially pliant, even gentle character.
