Definitely not showing as well as it did a few months ago. But still lovely in its own right.

Violets and fresh blackberry with spice box. A bit delicate, but with mineral backbone and forest floor.

Fresh and juicy with mild tannins. Highly drinkable and less spice than I've found in similar wines. Great value.
