The nose is a bit mute right now but I smell some almond, some cherry, a bit of leather (?) and there's a bit of heat coming up after a while. The palate is very delicate and rather smooth. I was anticipating a bit more dryness. Nice fruit along a strong acid backbone, very nice velvety touch on the sides, velvety tannins with a very gentle drying effect, very long finish with cherry and a bit of coffee underlined by these velvety, gently drying tannins. This is a bit surprising but pleasant. I would never have located it rightly blind. — 4 years ago

There is cherry, raspberry and a bit of almond here. Could it be a hint of eucalyptus lurking in the back? The palate is very well balanced with a strong acid backbone and a bright fruit all along. The mouthfeel is soft, almost spherical, but leaves a drying effect in mid palate with a grain. These tannins kick off a fruity (cherry, raspberries) finish with a grain. More of that please! — 4 years ago
