89-91. Barrel sample. While there is 100% new wood, the weight of fruit in this expression is sufficient to power through. It will be an impressive wine.

New wood dominates this wine, which is full of rich tannins, and notes of smoky wood, licorice and black coffee. The fruit feels extracted, hard-edged and too strong for its own good.
