So much freshness and purity. Lots of perfume; blueberry candy, black olives, violets, smoke, rocks, hints of exotic spices. Very juicy, lovely acid and silky soft tannin. Seems like there is some CO2 left leaving a crackly texture that is very energetic and bright. Absolutely sang with Moroccan spiced short ribs, cauliflower couscous and pumpkin.
