Dark garnet, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Delicately balsamic-herbal spice, black berry fruit, tobacco nuances, still somewhat restrained. Taut, tight-knit and introverted, distinct terroir spice, hint of fruit, very good length, not yet accessible, needs further bottle ageing, slightly drying on the finish.
