This single-vineyard wine offers a multitude of heady aromas, from tangy currant, blueberry and black cherry to crushed rose petal, tree bark, black olive, peppercorn and soy sauce. The palate is restrained, even austere at first, with taut, talc textured tannins and crunchy acidity, but with time, layers of flavor emerge, backed by fine French oak. Despite its muscles, this could be sipped now with a decanter and protein at hand, or cellared until 2031 at least.
