Beginning to mellow and reach its sweet spot, this red reveals rose hip, cherry, strawberry, currant and freshly mown hay flavors aligned to a sleek frame. This turns austere as it evolves on the palate, with the ripe fruit returning on the long, resonant finish. Elegant and harmonious overall, ending with the essence of ripe berry fruit, tart rose hip and mineral notes.

Crushed mint, new leather, white truffle and wild berry aromas waft out of the glass on this gorgeous, fragrant wine. Smooth but seriously structured, the focused palate is delicious, delivering crushed Morello cherry, raspberry compote and licorice. Still youthfully austere, it needs several more years to fully develop but it will age and evolve for decades. An absolutely breathtaking wine.
