Exceptional definition on the perfumed nose with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, cedar, and fine spices together with accents of leather, violets and graphite. Poised and elegant on the palate with delightful interplay between black fruit and spice flavours. Fresh but structured with supple tannins and a very long finish. Needs more time in the cellar to show its true potential.
WSET notes:
Deep ruby.
Pronounced on the nose with violet, black cherry, black plum, leather, cinnamon, cedar, leather, and graphite. Developing.
Pronounced and dry on the palate. High acidity, full body, high alcohol, high tannins, long finish.
Too young.

(Tasted from barrel) The nose showed fresh red berries, with smoky minerals and sweet dark florals. On the palate, I found a silky and pliant expression, with energizing acidity contrasting its sappy dark fruits and spice. Dusty tannins defined the long finish with staying minerality and dark wild berry fruits. (94-95 points)
