The 2016 Block 1 has a bold and expressive nose with a focused tone of dusty blackberry and dusty plum blossom on the nose, with hints of baked earth and layered oak essence. Medium to full-bodied, oak spices show up first on the palate followed by a bold berry-laced tone, with good mineral tension and firm tannic grip adding complexity. The wine lingers softly with tart fruit expressions and subtle notions of graphite that continue to evolve on the precise, focused and complex finish. Only 600 cases made. Wow, I’m impressed.
