A very nice wine indeed. Rich, but never heavy. A layered fruit profile with dark berries, florals, followed up by a pronounced but integrated and contributing rather than disturbing portion of oak, showing both spices, vanilla and toffee, further complexity in the earthy, wet stone minerality. Could do more on the flavor though, which is lacking some flavor intensity. Drinks well but will for sure age very well.

Yet in its infancy and will benefit with some further aging for a more unison experience.
