Great nose. Lots of leather, smoke and tar. Mineral as all can be. Smells stoney. Hint of florals and freshly stepped in moss. Palate is rich, structured and closed. A tiny bit of heat peeks out. This 15.5% so.....a brave new world we are in! But balanced as well, elegant and pure. Terrific fruit thrust and concentration. Good minerals and lovely structure. I’d wait 5 years.

Better than when I had it a couple years ago. Wouldn’t have guessed it was 15.5% until I read my previous review. Very nice rich fruit, but not jammy or stewed at all. The good acid really holds it all together.
