The lovely, very attractive, and medium-high intensity nose has smoky, flinty, and meaty aromas with a touch of reductiveness, followed by dark red fruits, cherry, raspberry, and dried herb characters. On the dry, medium-full bodied palate with excellent concentration, it has elegant tannins supported by pleasing savoury, meaty, flinty, and olive flavours alongside dark currant, cherry, and plum notes adding complexity. It has very good, juicy acidity, while the long, balanced finish is savoury in nature. Tasted June 2024.
