Nose of savory green elements mixed with fecund soil, lifted floral notes, cassis, pencil lead, and currant. Seemingly settled layers of black currant, fine green leaf, and black plum on the palate nonetheless deepening with grip and lithe, earthen gravity. Lively acidity and softened tannin leading to a long finish of currant, soil, wild green, a bit of sauvage, and tobacco. Vital complexity within a civilized frame.
