Aromatic on the nose, fragrant and generously fruited with floral and red fruit scents. Powerful and forward straight away, quite tight and spiced, lean and almost verging on austere such is the tension and focus of both the tannins and the cool, spiced and salt-edged fruit. Not so ripe or plush, more direct and sleek but with plenty of flavour. Feels well worked and refined, there's a sense of sculpting about it, integrated tannins and bright freshness throughout. Refined and enjoyable today but with potential to age. Minimal intervention, indigenous yeast fermentation. Ageing 18 months in oak barrels with racking according to lunar rhythms.
