This wine shows impressive depth and complexity. Minor fading on the rim and a profound purple core welcome you on the glass. A first nose of red fruits (strawberries, red cherries, cranberries) and chocolate shavings announce start of the proceedings. The second nose follows up with herbal notes (rosemary, oregano) and olives. Quite expressive, perhaps a bit over. The palate is neat, fresh, smooth, and a touch of salinity with a fleshy tannin presence. The finish is a long and winding road as the cool breeze of fall creeps in. Did not decant but might help (60+ minutes). Still in its early years but what a delightful wine already! Make sure to save one for the next 5-10 years.
