the antithesis of a squeaky-clean commercial wine, this funky but compelling and complex bottling is an adventure to drink. brownish in color, it conveys strong earth, spice and new-leather notes in the aroma, followed by flavors like black tea, rhubarb and cedar. while it was aged for an unusually long time in 70% new french oak, it comes off as layered and spicy but not at all overoaked.
