Dark ruby-garnet with purple reflections and a touch of brightening at the rim. A delicate nose brings touches of tobacco, undergrowth and liquorice to jammy black fruit. Juicy on the palate, with more of a red fruit note and racy acid structure wrapped up with vivid tannins. Very saline and closed at the moment, with lemony nuances bringing freshness to a nougatty finish. Great length but needs time.
