Slow gripping tannins dominant young wine. Light violet attack begins short fruit progression.

I pulled the wrong vintage on my way out the door but this 2015 was astoundingly good tonight. Approachable and complex and easy and nuanced all in one. Mounir makes awesome wines!

Tomato leaf once again, green/stems, incense, currants and black plums. Very soft tannins, medium finish.
