Young and strong now, this has lots of primary berry and chocolate flavors. The oak hasn't been integrated into the wine, making it feel rustic, with an emphasis on the tannins and acids. Give it two or three years before opening, but not much more than that.

Tough-edged, with gritty tannins, this is dense and concentrated, but rustic at most turns, with dried currant, blackberry, anise and cedar. Has room to grow. Best from 2013 through 2022.
