Inky and brooding, with wild cherry, white pepper and smoky minerality building in layers. There's real weight here despite the declassified status. Concentrated fruit flows with surprising grace, lifted by vibrant acidity. Dark chocolate and herbs emerge on the long finish. Barret's whole-cluster work shows beautifully.
