This has dark and bright accents, with plum, blackberry and anise notes forming the core, while bramble, violet and rosemary hints impart lift. Energetic acidity drives the finish, ending with a light plum skin detail. Should unwind pleasantly.

Well-packed but very fresh in feel, with a violet edge to the core of currant and plum fruit. Singed rosemary and licorice snap notes underscore the finish. This has serious grip but the integration is marvelous. Deceptively approachable, but will reward cellaring.
