Outrageously concentrated and powerful, with dense black fruit, incense and crushed rocks building beautifully. The structure is impressive - ripe tannins provide backbone without overwhelming the generous core of dark raspberry and mineral-driven complexity. This powerhouse demands cellaring but shows remarkable harmony even now. Built for decades.
