Restraint is a common thread through this range of releases, and it wholly applies here. Blackcurrant, milk chocolate, dried black cherry, tilled earth, black liquorice, and graphite lift from the glass with cohesion and seamlessness. The palate is powerful and intense but controlled. Black berry, black currant, cacao nib, espresso, dark chocolate, earth, graphite. It drives long through the mouth thanks to assertive grainy cacao and coffee-laced tannins and clean acidity. Excellent complexity, balance and power. One for the cellar.
