...offering a striking palate thickness and sappy, resinous, implosively black-fruited intensity that I could perfectly well understand some tasters experiencing as hyper-concentration. Yet, there is brightness of fresh dark cherry and blackberry, as well as a sense of energy and lift that render the ride on this bullet train of a wine exhilarating. Mushroom, coriander, peat, and black pepper lend complexity en route to a palate-staining finish. The tannins here are not as fine and polished as in the Les Evocelles, and I would plan to give this a few years in bottle before hitching rides over the subsequent half dozen or so.
