Still so fresh and youthful. Iodine, pencil lead, rich fruit and fine tannins.

Dark blood red color; oakpowered nose with black- and redcurrants, green bell pepper, and hints of strawberry and cedar swamp; in the mouth the structure is made up of fairly high alcohol and acid levels and robust tannins, the oak is prominent, the finish solid, and I am left with a satisfying impression of a well-balanced wine - that works great with pizza.
