Great purity. Pristine and sleek but with plenty of power. Love to see in a few years

Vibrant purple with a pretty pronounced nose which is, to me, very primary, young and attractive. A couple of registers to it: strawberry and raspberry, but seemingly on a different plane, blackberry bush and black plum. There's a leafy quality but not in an unripe way; it's a warm, ripe and inviting bouquet. Medium bodied and deep on the palate, a vertical spectrum of bright reds and briary black fruits, perhaps a touch of dusted chocolate and fennel but overall it's velvet cloaked, delicious fruit. It feels very youthful, but the time I spend with this the more I love the layers. The tannins are superfine dust, the acid working so well to draw the fruit to a long finish. Really quite quietly delicious, with a very tasty future.
