Exuberantly youthful in appearance and in aroma, this dark and brooding wine tastes of fleshy black plum, sloe jam and fennel. It’s smart and perky, with pristine, clean fruit, a juicy core, focused and finessed tannins and mouthwatering acidity. Its most impressive trait is its concentrated fruit core that lingers on the medium finish. This is a class act, with exuberantly accessible, fresh and crunchy fruit, and it should evolve nicely. Drink now–2021.
