Brooding waves of cassis, dark plum and wild herbs surge with muscular intensity. This is serious Pinot. Concentrated and massively structured with gripping tannins that coat the palate. Earthy undertones of graphite and forest floor add gravitas. A cellar candidate that won't hit stride until 2025.
