Reviews
"Dense and backward, but with ample fig, boysenberry and blackberry fruit waiting to emerge fully, this muscular version is loaded with additional tar, pastis and Christmas pudding notes, all while staying deftly balanced and nicely polished, with buried minerality. This really feels like it pulled something special and deep from its terroir."
