Still young & restrained. Good depth & acid balance. Should be a stunner in another 2-5 years.

Nose: blackberry compote and pepper
Mouth: blackberry compote and pepper......and spice, a slight prick of heat. Sounds like it might be cough syrupy but it's not really.
It all comes together much better with a couple hrs of air and a few slices of homemade sausage pizza
