Funky and herbaceous, peaty forest floor character. Good mid palate core and a finish that shows some mineral flourish.

Definitely punches above its weight. Almost dismissed due to $16 price tag!

Deliciously balanced and clean. Plum, fig, blackberry jam. Some fruit characters suggest carbonic maceration. Great value.
