Very young, of course, but quite centered and rounded, with a huge hit of grapey goodness followed by black currant and liquorice, a little peppery heat developing as the finish progresses. Black in the glass, some purple around the edges. Big, powerful, somewhat hot nose, 21% alcohol making itself known. Beautiful amounts of acid and tannins. Good lord is this good.
