(from a 2001 planting on deep silt soil that's not too different from Felton Road's Block 3

Strikingly juicy and pure cabernet with excellent finishing lift and lingering mineral notes

the mousse amazingly compact and persistent

all of which is trimmed in admirably discreet wood influence

Reduction presently dominates but there is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the detailed and tautly muscular flavors that possess good size and weight before terminating in a balanced and equally serious finish that is now austere to the point of being slightly strict. Like the Cazetiers this is definitely going to require several years of bottle age to round off the mildly rustic tannins. (90 92) 2026+
