This is a bit fresher than the regular version with its aromas of red and dark currant, lavender and rose petal. The super-sleek, well-detailed and wonderfully intense flavors brim with minerality on the balanced and youthfully austere finale. Also like the regular version, this would benefit from having more depth.
This has the darker fruit, but it shows more sweetly across the palate until the clean dry terracotta finish which replaces the wood tannins, but to some extent emulates them. I have a slight preference for the amphora version over the barrel. Tasted: October 2020.
