Aggressive tannins, bright red fruit and lots of herbaceous notes. Definitely detecting some minerality in the mid palate. Good freshness and lift, just needs some time for tannin integration.

Really nice tension between the racy fruit and a sachet full of herbs. Bright, fresh and savory all at once. Maybe not all that complex, but so compelling.

Dried currants, roses, orange peel, nutty quality, date, strawberry fruit leather, very lifted, complex, great body, great acidity, nice length, awesome with smoked meats/braai, jammy (strawberry jam), food friendly but gulpable on its own, flinty/smoky edge (slight tarriness), reminiscent of Barbaresco, really enjoyable, 13%
