N: RIPE berries with notes of garrigue WAY underneath?

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt met by astringent pucker which QUITE resolves by the LONG finish with a tangy/swtness to the DUSTY tannins. NEEDS a yr or so, then drinking for 3, poss 4, yrs more. My EXC-; [Check with this vendor if interested in their very COMPETITIVE price.]
