A wonderfully, even exuberantly spicy and layered nose speaks of earth, underbrush and a certain animale character on the primarily red berry fruit that moves seamlessly into cool and intensely mineral broad-scaled flavors that are powerful, vibrant and display a saline element on the stylish and classy finish that is presently quite linear and will require plenty of time to flesh out because the suggested initial drinking window is not a typo.
Bright medium red. Musky, smoky aromas of raspberry, clove and underbrush complemented by blood orange and an exotic note of apricot. Then silky, juicy and dry on the palate, with red berry and spice flavors enlivened by smoky minerality. Really coats the mouth and spreads out on the very long, youthfully tight finish. Has the tannin/acid spine to support a leisurely evolution in bottle.
