Complex aromas...bright red fruit, tomato leaf, leather, earth, mushroom. Dill. Tawny in color. Sip, and you confirm the tomato and leather, along with black berry and cassis. There's a little Brett here, but it's more like a subtle and welcome seasoning than a fault. High acid, fully developed, fully integrated tannin. Very long finish. Outstanding now, but will keep for several more years at least.
