"Unique. Starts out with rustic aromas, but shows superb authority midpalate, where it produces great ripe but firm minerally tannins. A smoky, chocolaty, plummy wet earth character leads to a sense of terroir. A bit rustic again on the finish, but with immense concentration and uncompromising purity . . . . [Only] 580 cases made."
