Oct 5th, 2024I opened it yesterday night so it's been 24 hours. The nose is made of red berries and black pepper and a tiny bit of licorice. There is a bit of heat too. The palate shows a massive acid backbone, tangy red berries notes all along, a good width, a lively mouthfeel, light tannins in the rear kicking off a long finish with fruit and a very subtle dusty layer. It's playful and delicious but it packs a punch. It's probably better to chill it a bit before service.
