Nice dark aromatics with gravely black fruit, light cedar wood and a uplifting note of menthol & cassis. Plus a very characteristic note of fresh walnuts.
On the palate this is fresh, quite light considering the colour yet with a proper tannic bite (ripe, juicy!) and great balance. Nice finish and surprising depth for a second wine. Kudos for the v. long savoury fruity finish.
This is really good stuff, also for sipping solo.
And surprisingly approachable upon opening.
