Dense black-cherry fruit with the sort of granitic or petrichor flavour that I often get from great Syrah. Much lighter in frame though, and pirouettes through the palate. More to come, you can sense the time capsule needs to stay buried for now. (RH)
Subtle aromatics followed by an energised palate and lengthy tension as well as impressive depth and concentration carried through a lithe frame. The wine feels silken, suave and sophisticated with an integration of spice and mixed plums, abundant while succulent tannin and a lot of length. (ECB)
Dark ruby. A complex bouquet evokes red and blue fruit preserves, incense and lavender, and smoky mineral and oak spice accents build as the wine opens up. Juicy and well-concentrated yet lively on the palate, offering intense raspberry, cherry liqueur, boysenberry and baking spice flavors and a hint of licorice on the back half. Delivers solid punch and betrays no rough edges on an extremely long, vibrant finish that repeats the floral and spice notes.
