9.1

On the nose, it comes across as a tightly wound coil , with tart cherries, minerals and exotic spices.

On the palette, the wine stands firm and bold. Tannins are far from resolved (even a touch gritty, perhaps), which was a surprise. It's a strong example which was dense, layered and compact. We popped n poured, to which I plead guilty.

@Janet Ross, saw your post. Frankly, this type of wine should not be approached the way did it. We were like "bulls in a china shop." Worst still, we brought our own china! I love this winery. I visited twice. Getting there was like trying to land a man on the moon, but it was worth the moon-walk...

I would love to visit the winery....jealous! I know the feeling of not being able to wait to get into a wine. No worries, been there many times 😁
