A very pure red with currants, blackberries and fresh leaves. Mushrooms and wet earth. Some tobacco. Cigars. Charcoal. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, silky tannins and an intense, flavorful finish. It grows on the palate with chewy yet polished tannins. Delicious. Turns to currants. Needs two or three years to soften. Better after 2023.
