The nose is complex and very expressive, displaying layered plum and black fruit with earth toned notes of flint and wood ash. The fruity intensity of the nose softens to a more elegant expression on the tongue. The fruit is balanced and integrated with fine tannins and supported by excellent freshness. Notes of mint and cocoa appear in the mouth and follow on into the long finish.

92-93 Lots of phenolic material, ripe and somewhat grapey. But lots of redeeming freshness to balance it out. Nit my preferred style of wine, but I am curious how it may age given nice freshness.

Notes of black currants and vanilla. The black currant note is pure and pleasant. Though I was hoping for more complexity at this price point.

After a couple of hours decanting it opened up to a very balanced and smooth wine.
