Brought to drink at Oinoscent during service. No decant, just slowly drank Thick red fruit core, whole spice, there is a raspberry fruit note right in the middle setting the tone. Bright palate, med body, nice balancing acidity, again plenty of red fruit, spicy frame, youthful, long finish. After about 2hr, you get mostly black fruit and the oak gets more upfront with all its spices.

Full on ripe red and black fruit, some heavier floral notes with a very distinctive herbal note right in the middle, mineral, basket full of cherries and currants. Palate with a certain overripe tone, a few balsamic notes that with time, fall back in line, hugely concentrated, same flavors as the nose, big but not aggressive tannins, medium finish

Sample tasting at work (Oinoscent): Quartz - micca soil, 30% new oak, 11 months lees, oak, 30yo vines Tense, tight, strong fruit core, less floral than Terrases, nectarine, mineral, frsh, youthful. Palate mineral, youthful, freshness, fruit forward, full body, elegant, nuttier than Terraces, a touch bitter but not annoyingly so, long finish. Beautiful, would love to find back vintages of this
