Seemingly improved since last tasted a year ago, this has a fresh and attractive medium-to-medium-high intensity nose of red and black cherry, tea leaf, and dried herbal aromas with a touch of reductive character. It's medium-bodied on the dry, crunchy palate with lovely, balanced aroma replays that echo on the flavour profile. It has fresh, well-balanced acidity alongside textured tannins with good structure. Cocoa, chocolate, and earthy oak notes linger on the long, savoury finish. Last tasted Nov. 2024.
