Very floral on the nose with some herb scents like thyme and lavender and dill. Fairly direct on the palate but deliciously so - very easy to drink with lots of acidity and some really nice liveliness in the mouth. Some nice cherries and minerals and meatiness present a very enjoyable flavor profile. Excellent lively, vibrant wine full of flavor without any unnecessary weight.

A beautiful teenager of a wine. Starting to look like an adult but not quite legal. A little more time and this will be a looker. Lovely meaty, savory, stemmy, plum, and blueberry nose. Wild and ripe on the palate - blue fruits, olives, a delicious salinity with plenty of grip and structure. Substantially enjoyable wine.

An incredibly compelling wine, too good not to note. Complex and deep while simply and ultimately a joy to drink. 95+ points.
