Nose
Enticing aromas of cassis, blackberry, leather and violet.
Palate
Juicy, tightly coiled and penetrating, with the sharp delineation of the best examples from Howell Mountain Densely packed but closed in on itself. A very backward but extremely promising wine that finishes with broad, dusty, fine tannins and excellent length.
Aging
Aged 32 months in 100% new French oak.
Appearance
Bright medium ruby.
