Massive and austere, built for the long haul. Iron, blackberry liqueur, cigar box and forest floor create a dense, almost impenetrable core. The structure is formidable. Waves of fine-grained tannins that coat the palate and demand patience. This Red Rock Terrace needs a decade minimum to show its true character. Drink 2025-2040.
