After some initial reductive notes blow off, this reveals fresh, distinctive earthy & stony mineral aromas joined by ripe blackberry, white pepper, dried spices & plum. It's medium to medium-full bodied w/ good concentration on the dry palate w/ savoury stony minerals, earthy & dried spice flavours, plus dark berry, blackberry & plum notes adding fruity notes. It has fresh, racy acidity & lightly grippy, chalky, grainy textured & youthful tannins. Nicely balanced throughout w/ savoury mineral & lightly tangy dark berry notes lingering on the long, juicy finish. Tasted Feb. 2023. Score: 90+ pts
