Medium garnet. Stewed currants, cherries, plums and figs on the nose with leather and charcoal. A whiff of funk blows off with a few swirls.
The palate shows remarkably fresh acidity and spice, more stewed and dried red fruit, glycerin and a lingering finish. Stunning at 28 and not done yet.

Strong colour. Beautiful ripe and briary fragrance. Plump, dark ripe berries, earthy, dark spice, classic profile. Good tannins and acidity, seamless. This has aged perfectly, in no danger of falling apart, plenty of time ahead.

Drinking well. Nicely balanced nose after blowing off a little funk: berry, leather, wood and pepper. On pallet: lively acidity, smooth tannins and long finish.
