The medium+ to medium-high intensity nose has lovely currant, cassis, cocoa, herbs, and earthy mineral aromas, all of which echoes very nicely on the dry, medium-full bodied, and impressively concentrated palate. It has very good, well-balanced acidity, as well as grainy textured tannins with good structure. Touches of oak spice linger on the long, savoury finish. Tasted June 2023.
