"A fully flared Taurasi, brimming with volcanic fire and brimstone. This said, the mid-palate to finish is a rocky road of compression and release, needing time to unfurl. This augurs for a bright future despite the morass and energy being a little inscrutable. Such is the tension. Shins and elbows. Pithy black cherry, licorice strap, sooty black rock, tobacco and exotic spice, from cardamon, clove, turmeric and curry leaf. A wonderful wine in the making. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."

"Harmonious and finely detailed, this offers flavors of black plum reduction, dried fig and wild sage and thyme, with a savory underpinning of minerally iron and spices. Fluid and supple on the palate, showing a fine intersection of power and grace. Long, fresh finish. Drink now through 2036. 950 cases made."
