"Medium red. Wild, expressive aromas of raspberry, strawberry, smoke and underbrush. Sweet, supple and rich but youthfully backward. Builds impressively toward the back end, showing strong saline minerality and a serious acid/tannin spine. This shows more focus in bottle than it did from barrel a year ago. I'd give it a couple years in the cellar before pulling the cork. 89 Points." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media
Here the equally fresh nose is somewhat more deeply pitched with humus, earth and underbrush notes adding breadth to the cool dark berry fruit aromas. There is fine volume and precision to the medium-bodied flavors that are quite tightly wound on the linear finish. 87-90 Points/Drink 2017+" - Allen Meadows, Burghound
