Really delightful. Nose is loaded with intense purple fruit and licorice. The palate is deep, intense and concentrated. Notes of black cherry, plum, strawberry, licorice, flowers and coconut. Beautiful.

This is drinking beautifully, but is not a PnP. On pop the wine is acidic, tannic and alcoholic, and you could see someone giving a sub-90 score. This is the impatient drinker. But patience will provide great rewards. Let it open, for like 5-7 hours. Then, holy moly, loads of exotic spices on the nose, perfectly balanced on the palate yet somehow light despite the ABV. Tannins become fine, acid integrates into the background, and you get giant dark fruit with those exotic spices as a compliment. Very complex and mouth filling, yet supple. Wife says: “I don’t know the individual notes, but this is delicious.” This wine sings now, but could still age a few years. Be patient, let it breathe, and you will be rewarded.

Like all Saxum wines, this is a rich mouthful of a wine, but magically it's not heavy. There's so much going on with this wine right now that it's amazing how balanced it is. Food friendly and also happy and satisfying enough on its own. Lot of fruit, black fruits mostly, lots of herbs, a slight touch of vanilla, and a long long finish. Nice acidity that keeps it fresh. Really nice.
