Scorched earth and wild herbs anchor dense layers of blackberry, licorice and worn leather. The concentration is impressive, yet searing tannins overwhelm the fruit core, creating an imbalance that may never fully resolve. The aromatic complexity suggests potential, but structural harmony remains elusive. Drink over the next decade before the fruit begins to fade.
