At an in-betweens stage right now, having shed its baby fat sticky black fruit but still holding on to the primary Flintstones vitamin and game of its youth. Acid's still cracking, though, and the tannins (which had to have been forced upon release) are almost perfectly resolved, which means this ain't far from being a better accompaniment to your tagliatelle with venison ragú than it was ours. Which is saying something.

Smooth and fruit forward right out of the bottle but showing some grip and a hint of earth with air. Rich red fruits but not over the top.

Very floral nose, and something starchy. Complex but easy drinking.
