Fresh, medium to medium-high intensity nose is spicy with dark berried currant, wild blackberry, cherry, and minerally aromas. It has grippy tannins on the dry, medium+ bodied palate with delicious savoury, minerally, and dark berry replays and is supported by very good acidity. Finish is long, earthy, and minerally. Quite youthful at this stage, I would put this away for a few years to let the tannins soften. Tasted Nov. 2024.
