A well-spiced and broad-based nose freely offers up notes of forest floor, red and dark currant and evident sauvage character. The tautly muscular and vibrant medium-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality while offering slightly more drive on the delicious and balanced finish where a hint of cherry pit arises. The supporting tannins are pliant yet serious and slightly rustic and this will likely need most of a decade to arrive at its apogee.
