Opens up marvelously and this comes from a next-day tasting. There’s a massive amount going on here, beginning with a nose that breathes\u00a0deep forest compost, dark wildflower beds, musky blackberries &\u00a0blueberries, hints of prunes & dates, and pressed dark strawberries all condensed into a vivid picture of a post-rainfall grove teeming with morning dew. The palate is a rich, raisinated, woodsy font of blackberries and black raspberries, fruit stems, and dried strawberries. The mid-palate bursts with an ashen smoke\u00a0note that lingers and melds with the fruit till the finish without overtaking the other elements. This is a magnificent\u00a0effort that evokes camping in deep, secluded virgin woods\u00a0with dark and red fruits being smoked\u00a0over a raw fire and served atop rustic cookware. Sensational\u00a0structure and the continual refined, ashen element gives this wine an almost enigmatic, feral quality. Spellbinding. 94+ pts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
