Clean, developing nose with a medium(+) intensity. Aromas of baked red fruit, fresh strawberry, dark cherry, garrigue, fennel seeds, white pepper, dill and leather. There's a good amount of oak to this wine but it's well integrated and not disturbing at all.
Medium(+) bodied, medium acidity and medium(+) smooth tannins. Medium(+) intensity of flavors with loads of ripe red fruit, leather, garrigue, oak, sweet spice, vanilla and herbs. Even though it's really ripe it still remains a freshness that keeps the wine from being heavy and cloying. The finish is medium(+) with fresh cherry, herbs and gravel dust.
Powerful and well-balanced. Drinking perfect right now and makes me crave for grilled t-bone and summer!
