September 11, 2021 - Clear bright garnet with light edges. Aromatics and notes throughout of fig & pomegranate, fresh hibiscus, brown mushroom, sandalwood, and five spice. Fresh, high-toned red fruit expression on the palate, with nicely layered secondary depth, showcasing its earth and exotic spice notes as it moves on the palate. Lean, with round middle density adding heft. Brightly integrated acid, finishing with fine supple tannins and moderate fruit-driven length. Showing very well.
