Flowery nose although not very strong but the well integrated fruits make up for that. Tobacco, leather, pomegranate, black raspberry dominate.

Pop and pour. Nose of jammy raspberry and red fruits. Palate similar, but finishes with a savory/herbal note that I don't remember being there before.

Stellar wine right now. Smooth from the first sip. Well balanced with nice layers and a long finish.
