Sweet spot outstanding. Moderate wood sets off very ripe aromas of black cherry, plum and wet stone that also characterizes the extremely rich yet beautifully detailed flavors that possess superb intensity as well as fine complexity on the tension-filled and wonderfully persistent finish. Terrific. Drink: 2024+

Good deep red. Musky aromas of dark fruits, smoke and flint. Initially quite closed on the palate but opened nicely with air to show reverberating flavors of black cherry, licorice and wild herbs. The aromatic, building, firmly tannic finish is extended by piquant chalky minerality.

Seductive and perfumed red fruit. Delicate, fresh and harmonious. Tannins are very fine and barely visible given how young this is but they are not lacking in the overall balance. Long elegant finish. (JH)
