The wine is clear and bright with a medium ruby colour.
The nose is clean and developing, showing medium intensity aromas of red fruit (strawberry, cherry), pungent spices (liquorice) and hints of bottle ageing (game) and flowers (lavender).
The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium(+) refreshing acidity. It has medium(-) stalky tannins and a medium(+) alcohol. It has a medium body and medium intensity flavours of red fruit (strawberry, cherry), pungent spices (liquorice) and hints of bottle ageing (game) and flowers (lavender). The finish is medium(+).
It is a very good quality wine. It has a persistent finish and the acidity balances the alcohol. It has some fruit concentration, but not enough to consider it outstanding.
Can drink now, but it has enough acidic structure and fruit concentration to develop a bit more of tertiary aromas over the next 2-3 years.
