A stylish version, with real concentration and ripeness to the plum and black cherry flavors, all backed by a steely layer of graphite minerality. Dried lavender and incense add aromatic intrigue, but this is mostly about simmering, smoky power, with the muscular tannins keeping a firm grip. Needs time. Best from 2026 through 2037. 2,667 cases made, 200 cases imported.
