Tightly coiled and demanding, this shows the vineyard's austere side. Red cherry and rose petal struggle against grippy tannins and piercing acidity, while mint and earth add complexity beneath the stern exterior. The fruit feels compressed but promising. Cellar until 2026 for the wine to find its voice.
