Dark purple hue. Light, graceful aromas of fresh, almost green-toned fruit and svelte spices. Very balanced and harmonious after its cellar cossetting. As the aromas suggested, this is a wine of poise, refinement and almost European classicism. It has elegant, carefully sculpted edges, firm though understated tannins, and the acids are deeply etched into the cool, near-leafy blackcurrant fruit on which the blend is built. Don't expect opulence -- but prepare to be impressed, nonetheless. 2026-2032 – AJ
