CASK 23 2023
This is impressive without trying to be impressive, offering a large-scaled core of cassis, plum reduction and boysenberry preserve that’s inlaid with mesquite, alder, bay, violet and warm notes notes. Subtle walnut husk and dried violet hints percolate through the finish, which has a very long, deeply-buried graphite spine. And its all in a reserved and poised manner. A wine that drips distinction. Best from 2030 through 2050. 2,700 cases made.
