This is youthful, aromatic wine offers aromas of charcoal, menthol and black currants. The palate mimics the nose and adds sensible structure to the generous full-bodied feel. The tannins offer some rugged grip while vibrant acidity offers refreshment to balance the velvet-like suppleness of the midpalate. A lingering earthy finish marks the close. Drink now–2023.
