Pretty seamless and well-proportioned, other than a slightly hot finish. Tasteful levels of black fruit ripeness and sweet spice

While the foundation is elegant, it is still too young. There is a pepper overlay on the dark fruits and cassis and currants. I think as it ages and remains open, the wine will grow into its elegance.
