Solidly packed, with a bramble-edged core of dark plum, bitter cherry and black currant fruit, inlaid with bay leaf and savory notes.
The 2014s are more elegant, silky and streamlined...tons of cedary spice, pepper, iron, beef blood, crushed rock and new saddle leather... medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and structured, with ripe, present tannin.
Brilliant purple. Powerful, mineral-tinged cherry and blackberry scents, along with notes of bacon fat, licorice, potpourri and pungent flowers. Pure, concentrated and energetic on the palate, offering deeply concentrated black and blue fruit
