Not super aromatic on the nose — some crushed rock and a bit of herbs, the fruit is underneath. The palate has a fair amount of density and tightly spooled dark fruit and subtle herbs — it’s pretty big and dense. Ripe tannins and acid that keeps the alc feeling in check.
Funny to say it’s too soon to drink a CdR, but this feels too young and primary to drink now, would like to see where it goes. Feels like the intensity and structure is there for further development.

Excellent -- intense! Playing above its weight class.
