Medium

Cork

Aromas of tobacco leaf, blueberry, and oak–derived spice, presage a rather structured wine with tannins reinforced by the lively acidity of the vintage: a firm, slightly angular profile at this stage, where the fruit feels somewhat restrained. Paradoxically, this same framework brings freshness that reveals palate depth. The finish carries a mineral, gently saline edge, suggesting versatility at the table. While it may currently lack enough expressive fruit, the balance of structure and freshness points to a wine that could integrate nicely with barrel ageing (20% new oak).
