Sampled during a vertical tasting of 2008-2021 vintages in August 2024. Dark ruby colour. It is an incredibly robust and textural wine with tons of grip and freshness brought on by stone fruit notes of peach pit, plums, and a freshness of white pepper and mocha. Densley-packed fine-grained tannins imbue this wine with serious weight, while that stone fruit and acid grip help keep everything light, fresh, and almost airy. The finish is exceedingly long, with saline minerals and a real high-toned spicy jalapeño note.
