Thoroughly new world ripeness but also...undercurrents of acid and earth. Has that “yummy” factor but wrapped up in a “distinguished” suit. Very much blackberry and black plum with the acid of lemonade (but not quite lemon juice) flowing before. Not overly complicated but not simple. And in a year or so could even more interesting.like the dude I dated mid twenties and he was good to revisit now but if we are both avail in two-three years meow as long as those tannins go on
