Spicy, red fruited, briary, touch dusty but spilling out of the glass with fuming gusto. Really pretty to inhale. Texture is surprisingly tight and restrained, a crispness to tannin that gives great definition and though red fruit and spice jostle, it’s a tightly wound, intensely inward affair. That being said, time lets the wine unfurl well and it’s a very fine, seamless expression of the varieties with a long belt of slate-meets-wet pebble-like minerality underlying. Geez this wine looks good. Structure and precision, yet delicious and intriguing. Sheesh.
