Richly fragrant, fresh & spicy on the highly aromatic nose w/ a lovely mélange of red & black fruits, currant, cassis, grilled herbs & savoury earth aromas with a touch of barnyard & anise adding further complexity. It's full-bodied & dry w/ ripe, chewy, elegant & well-structured tannins. Lovely, rich flavours of red & black fruits, black cherry, currant, cassis, grilled herbs, oak spice & earth flavours. A touch palate warming on mid-palate, but still balanced, while acids are fresh & juicy. Grilled herbs, dark fruits & smoky earth notes linger on the long, elegant finish. Tasted Sept. 2023.
