This rare superb vintage of Martha’s, is a stunning wine. This is still relatively young and will continue to improve with further bottle age, but offers up a very deep and absolutely classic bouquet of red and black cherries, fresh mint, a deep base of soil tones, eucalyptus, incipient notes of nutskin, woodsmoke and the first stirring of chipotle pepper in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still a tad closed, with a great core of fruit, beautiful focus and balance, moderate, ripe tannins and stunning length and grip on the classy finish. Needs about a 30-60 minute decant to really open up.
