Brooding and tightly coiled, showing crushed graphite, blackcurrant and dried sage beneath a veil of new oak. The volcanic minerality cuts through on the mid-palate, adding tension to the dark fruit core. Formidable tannins and concentrated structure demand patience. Give this five years minimum to show its true character.
