Light purple, just bottled. Butter, wood notes in nose. Berry bitter in mouth

This wine is a stunner. The balance between pure fruit and floral elegance is remarkable.
Perhaps most of all however, is the structure. Silky, powdery tannins dance with racy acidity and deliver the wine in a tight little package that opens slowly on the palate. Right now, (2018) it's like a tight little flower bud waiting to unfurl but already a gregarious show-off. I'm certain this wine will evolve into a jaw-dropper in due time. Give it until 2020 or so.
