On the nose, a lot of dark fruit, like plum, blackcurrant, black, and sour cherries. There's a bit of violet, and you can smell the astringent woody tannins.
On the palate is a medium to full-bodied dry wine with high tannins that are nicely balanced with a juicy acidity. Not hugely complex, but plenty of cherries of both dark and sour varieties, blueberries, fig, spices, and leather.
I quite like this charmer. It doesn't make any excuses for being loud, and it's the consumer that has to adapt. Definitely not a summer glouglou, but I could see it cooperating with a high protein bbq.

Medium+ intensity with a nose that initially is dark fruit-jammy. Plum, blueberries, blackberries, grapefruit, white pepper and maybe a little smoke. I can smell the tannins!
👅Plummy, cherries, grapefruit. Medium bodied, medium acidity, bone dry, and tannins I find rather tedious tbh. Needs food. Maybe it ought to lie a few years before consumption to integrate the tannins a bit more.
I've seen mere praises to this, but I'm not smitten.
