Bright dark purple core and hue with a light watery rim. Nuanced and spicy with black pepper, clove, dried meat, ripe dark berries, cassis, and wild herbs. The palate shows high density with a well-preserved freshness and youthful, vivid tannins with fine polish, herbal and peppery dark fruit flavours, concentrated without heaviness and digest dark fruit, refreshing herbal spice and a long grippy finish, good now, even better in a few years.
