Graphite and crushed herbs dominate, with dark fruit struggling beneath severe tannins. The mineral backbone shows Diamond Creek's signature intensity, but the structure feels unforgiving. A wine where the vineyard's volcanic character overshadows fruit expression. Drink now while some plum remains.
