The medium+ intensity nose has a ripe black fruit core accented by blackcurrant, purple fruit, oak spice, violet & savoury earth aromas. Plum, black cherry & cassis notes emerge w/ time in glass. The dry, medium-full bodied palate is ripe & sweetly fruited w/ delish blackcurrant, black cherry, savoury oak spice & earthy flavours, along w/ hints of cassis & plum. Acids are fresh, juicy & succulent, while the smooth, well-structured tannins feel a bit tight. Composed with a sense of elegance, nicely balanced w/ lovely flavour replays + mineral notes on long, savoury finish. Tasted Jan. 2025.
