concentrated yet impressively refined wine with plenty of inner mouth perfume as well as an abundance of palate coating old vine sap that serves to cushion the still quite firm tannic spine on the strikingly persistent finish

as the next vintage that is scheduled for release

spices and tar emerge

There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the rich
