Spicy, succulent and beautifully red-fruited, with remarkable blackberry, blackberry flower, musk and deep old-vine sap. The palate has excellent freshness, tension and tannins, plus a creamy mid-palate complexity that only comes with age. Still energetic and delicious, though I preferred it younger.

Mega grapey nose off the bat. But also tons of crushed granite. Tons of soil inflected aromas. Smells like fresh potting soil and black fruits. Stunning nose once it gets going and shakes off the grapyness. Palate is dense and packed and I mean packed with pure black cherry and blackberry fruit. But then it finishes elegant and granite infused with some firm tannins and terrific freshness. Graceful, vividly fruity, transparent and structured. What more can you ask for? Amazing wine

Sometimes the simplest of wines and simplest of meals can be amazing.
