Not corked this time! Really pretty wine. Savory dark red fruit. Plush tannins and relatively low acidity.

Dusty, spicy, elegant dark fruit, with pepper and exotic herbs. Snappy fruit, with a tannic, earthy stemmy finish. A lot brighter and a lot less tannic than other vintages I’ve had of this - really nice stuff.
