Blackberry jam, a bit of pencil lead, caramel, almond milk, a menthol thing too. Very inviting. The palate is very well balanced and shows a big bright fruit upfront and a nice, tender texture with a soft touch on the sides. It's very round. You can feel the acid backbone lurking underneath but you make it more than feeling it. Some tannins spice things up in the rear and lay a spicy layer in in the rear. A very long fruity finish with blackberry and other red berries finishes up this very good wine. It packs quite a punch but it's very easy going at the same time. A good testimony of its varietal.
