Saturday, February 11, 2023 - Fruit, texture and balance. This has jumped right out the blocks.
Nose is a riot of red fruits with some souk spices coming through towards the end.
Taste. An initial wave of red fruit, glacé cherries, straw and raspberries. The fruit sits atop a glorious acid and tannin texture like a plumb cushion. Musk and spice enter in the mid palate to form a heady exotic mix, but the acid and ripe but not insubstantial tannin framework just keep it balanced.
This is great right now but definitely has the fruit/acid/tannin balance to last 10 years+.
