Friday, December 8, 2023 - So very interesting and I which I had more time with it. Lovey berry fruit, red fruit highlights. Comes across as rather elegant and seamless with just a hint of white pepper. Almost seems like there is cinsault in the blend. Lighter on the palate than expected--but by no means is this lacking concentration or energy.
