Tasting Notes: Visceral red. Incongruent, unyielding and wildly permeative aromas of black raspberry dark chocolate truffles that prelude bacon and rosemary wrapped grilled buffalo fillet nearby Hazzard County hot asphalt.
Your first sip is more akin to an inoculation of the palate. Years of barrel aging followed on by patient cellaring has created a wine with pent up energy awaiting a release. Lucky you… Elegant and lithe on the initial encounter, that façade does not last long. Assertively mapping out your entire palate, the expansion of time and tannin begin their work paving the way for an extended and voluptuously velvety texture. Upon clearing your palate, the encore takes center stage with reverberating tannin and teasing acidity indelibly punctuating this moment for all of eternity. Sorry. Not sorry. Unfined, unfiltered and just waiting for you to pull out that cork. (22 cases produced.)
