Leads of with rich mahogany and berry compote scents – it’s a plume of dense perfume eddying between fruit, wood, earth and spice. Plush across the palate, the wine dips through the finish to a light herbal pucker and lingers with a kiss of ripe fruit sweetness. It’s pretty svelte, although velvety, and feels fresh in fruit even with some of the cedar-oak character presenting a twiggy taste underlying. Composed, one would say. Good drinking in youth.
