(96-97) Joel Cotton ~ WSET III Sommelier
"Incredibly dark and extracted black-purple color. Black plums, black cherry, tobacco, cassis, dark chocolate, cedar box. Signature SLD scored earth, iron-graphite-pencil lead, volcanic soils, purple flower, and hillside influence. Wonderful purity and depth of fruit. Ultra-fined integrated tannins show it's going to take 5-7 years to hit its prime"
