Tasting
It is not an everyday experience to try a wine of this reputation, tasting a wine of such concentration and balance is something i haven't previously experienced, it is a wine style that may polarise, but is a great drinking experience.

The wine doesn't align with typical descriptors, there is certainly dark fruit in the mix, but its more about the spicy vanillin oak, soy sauce and charcuterie flavours that add interest and complexity. The depth of the wine is impressive, and it will unravel over decades, showing different aspects as it matures. Tasting this wine was a great experience, if not a confusing one.
