Fairly complex nose that promises lots of fruit, especially the darker fruits like black cherry, blueberry and a touch of citrus. I find Donum wines usually have an earthy character but this one was straight fruit. Feels very large in the mouth with excellent hang time on the back end. Taste was a little less fruity than expected with a firm but pleasant acidity. PNP without any decant which may have assisted with additional complexity. Overall this one tastes to me like a wine that will benefit from additional time in the bottle and improve with age. Can't wait to see what the coming years will bring for this wine. We drank without food, it was our new year's eve tipple. Excellent on it's own.

Really elegant. Amazing mouthfeel. A little closed down right now. Should be spectacular in a few years. Tried at winery.
