"A pungent nose is composed of strong wood and equally strong reduction. Otherwise there is a round and velvety texture to the muscular big-bodied flavors that brim with both minerality and ample amounts of dry extract while displaying first-rate persistence on the bitter cherry inflected finish that is on the rustic side. This too is very much built-to-age and is going to need at least 6 to 8 years first to better harmonize and integrate the oak treatment." 91-94, Drink 2031+. Burghound, Issue 70
