  Compared to the 2018, which I reveled in last year, this is a bit straightforward, but that's probably because it's younger, and showing very primary. Aromas of juicy plums, strawberry candy, blueberry yogurt violets, a little mint, fennel and black pepper, some dark damp soil too... Supple and smooth on the palate, all about primary fruit, somewhat jammy, though it is plenty fresh and elegant, far from heavy and it doesn't come across as overripe. On the finish there's nice floral and earthy character to compete with the dominant fruit. This very nice today, and will likely be a crowd pleaser, but I'm thinking it'll be a lot more interesting in a year or two.... Forgot about this for a day, and after 48 hours, with about half the bottle left, this is still super fresh, showing no deleterious effects from oxidation. The fruit is pristine, and the lactic element has faded. Spice and flowers are amplified, and it is just overall more aromatic. What a wine for $15. Incredible.
