Second wine at 150 Central Park. Super dark purplish ruby red. Only decanted for two hours but still has some smoothness with excellent structure. Dark nose with blueberries, sweet tobacco and minerality. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Power house wine. Stunning structure with dark crushed rocks, blackberries, spices, cassis, herbs, and a little bit of blue fruit. Rich and long finish.

Tasting Note:March 10, 2018

Dark purplish red. Layered nose with notes of cedar, spices, black currants, some blueberries, minerality and sweet tobacco. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Complex palate that keeps adding layers. Notes of black cherries, sweet spices, a touch of blueberries, espresso and crushed gravel. Very well balanced and a real treat. Insanely long finish that just grabs a hold and doesn't want to let go.
