Tasting notes
(just a single 150-liter barrel, vinified with 100% whole clusters): Bright, dark red. Highly complex, slightly reduced aromas of violet, rose, minerals and musky earth. Super-concentrated, lush and seamless; like liquid silk but powerful and youthfully clenched. This has buns of steel. Finishes extremely tight, with piquant notes of noble herbs and pepper. Another wine for long aging.

A very pungent nose displays plenty of wood and menthol influences on the quite firmly reduced aromas. There is superb richness and intensity to the seductively textured mineral-inflected flavors that are at once powerful yet refined before culminating a very backward, concentrated and stunningly long finish that just goes on and on. This is exceptionally promising and should also live for decades. In a word, brilliant. Jan 2015, www.burghound.com, Drink: 2031+
