easily earns its high score for the sheer power and mass, equal to anything out of napa. erupts in the most complex blackberries, black currants, licorice and 100% new smoky oak flavors, with a spicy finish that goes on and on. the tannins are strong and fine and impressive. not for the faint-hearted, and not a wine to drink now, as it will swamp food. should begin to emerge after 2012.
