Great nose leaps out of the glass with iodine and roasted green herbs, dark pungent, juniper-inflected berry fruit. Really nice flavor concentration, pillowy soft tannins, nice length, and nice acids. Beautiful wine.

Color of dark ruby, yet quite clear. Nose of vanilla, chocolate, a bit oak, and a bit strawberry. Taste is spicy, peppery, pure and round, dried strawberry, oak, a bit grassy, subtle and refined acidity, a bit salty bacon note, and low tannins. Aftertaste is smooth with more spicy note, oak, a bit plum and dates, a bit of mineral, and no edge savory. Only drawback is the nose, or she will be great.
