Deep, dark ruby-garnet color with violet highlights and a delicate rim. Black berry fruit underpinned by dark minerality, with subtle hints of herbs and tobacco, some cassis, blackberries, and balsamic nuances. Fresh, red-berry texture, lively acidity, well-integrated tannins, cherries on the finish; still seems somewhat underdeveloped, needs further bottle aging. (60% BF, 20% ZW, 20% SL; 35% new oak, 35% one-year-old oak, 30% two-year-old oak, 20 months in oak.)
