“... delivers a precise and nascently complex bouquet of raspberries, cherries, cloves, a bit of smoked meats, cigar smoke, a lovely base of soil tones and cedary oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a lovely core of red fruit that will get velvety with bottle age, firm, buried tannins, tangy acids and excellent focus and grip on the long, beautifully balanced finish. This is going to be a great wine, but it is going to need extended time in the cellar before it is ready to drink.”
