A burst of fruit greets the nose, led by raspberry coulis, red currants, plum, and dark cherry, followed by subtle hints of cocoa powder, molasses, vanilla, clove, eucalyptus, pine resin, and a touch of pencil shavings. On the palate, this young wine is fruit-forward, showcasing fresh red summer fruits, with a lingering finish of white pepper, clove, black licorice, freshly cut cedar, and polished, well-rounded tannins. Enjoy now, or cellar a few bottles to see how it evolves.
