The medium-high to high intensity aromatics have dark red & black fruits, currant, cassis & black cherry notes joined by spicy, fine wood spices & sandalwood surrounding a core of savoury forest floor. The dry, full-bodied bodied palate is rich, spicy & touch warm w/ savoury earth, fine wood spice, blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry & graphite mineral flavours accented w/ dried herbs. Acids are juicy & mouth-watering, while the refined, well-structured tannins have a gently chalky textured mouthfeel. Savoury, graphite, and dried herb notes on exceptionally long finish. Tasted May 2024.
