Inky dark purple core and hue. Youthful aromas offering pepper, bay leaf, garrigue, some meaty notes and dark fruit like crushed blackberry. Good grip and density on the palate, youthful but with ripe extract, grainy tannin, a herbal spiciness of bay leaf and garrigue gives a lift to darker ripe fruit, well-balanced acidity and gentle oak leading to a long finish.
