A brawny set of rustic mountain tannins will take a while to calm, but it will be worth the wait for future beauty revealed. Deep black fruit and spice lie just beneath the surface now, and will make a slow march forward over the next 10 to 20 years. Trophy cellar alert. A Platinum award winner at the 2017 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
