Still a little young with unresolved tannin but pointing in the right direction. Hint of alcohol on the nose but mostly that menthol eucalyptus note along with honeyed fruit, a hint of coffee. Dark colour mostly opaque and still youthful right to the edge. The palate is mostly fruit, fig, more herbs, quite dry but in a dark chocolate kind of way, that is, more-ish.
