Tasting Notes

A pungent nose of very strong mineral reduction, rose petal and spice hints serves as a flourishing introduction to the stunningly intense middle weight flavors that seem to be extracted directly from liquid rock. This is classy but overtly austere; indeed this is borderline severe wine that delivers grand cru depth and length. That said, I wouldn't recommend buying this without having an express intention to cellar it for up to a decade as it's going to need it to flesh out.
