There is lovely complexity to the subtly spiced and distinctly earthy red currant and plum suffused nose

I very much like the texture of the middle weight flavors that possess both good density and minerality that become more apparent as the lingering and youthfully austere finish sits on the palate

There is both energy and refinement to the overtly mineral-inflected flavors thanks to the relatively finegrained tannins shaping the refreshing finish that is wrapped around a core of bright acidity

powerful and brooding big-bodied flavors possess outstanding volume and mid-palate concentration where the abundant dry extract serves to buffer the very firm and imposing tannic spine on the hugely long finish
