Critic Review

It feels very sinewy, tart and firm. Smoky spice overlaid on cedar and clove, dusty spice cupboard, fresh asphalt notes, dark cherry to sniff on. The palate is overtly drying, somewhat bitter and firm, rhubarb meets tart cherry, rose hip tea and granitic, minerally characters. It’s smoky to taste too. It does some justice to pinosity, but misses some more of the more vibrant drinkability of the concept at this stage, firm, tight, chalky, gummy-tannin bitter things to discuss. Smoke and flint edifice is the conversation here… at some point one may have to say that winemaking input has gone beyond a threshold. In that, perhaps the future more interesting.
