Such an interesting wine, bold but with seemingly delicate yet pronounced flavors, like strawberry and rose. The tannins are grippy yet inoffensive and there’s a lot of alcohol and astringency yet it’s somehow still a really enjoyable wine. Wonder what it would be like in a few years when the tannins gentle and wish I’d grabbed some more bottles so I could find out. Other taste notes: cherry, coffee, cocoa, herbal notes of maybe thyme and rosemary and some meaty tomato in the background to round it out. When I first opened it, there was some lovely spice and pepper as well, and while the pepper has lingered, the spice has given way to all the above notes and so much fruit.

Oaky, with notes of lemon, butter, caramelized pineapple. Pineapple, caramel and spicy red pepper on the nose.
