The fragrant, medium-high to highly aromatic nose is complex with herbaceous, oak spice, dark red currant, and cassis aromas. It's medium-full bodied and well-structured with very good acidity and youthful, structured, and ripe tannins. The juicy palate is dry with pleasing herbal replays, plus some salty and oak spice characters add interest. The finish is long, balanced, and juicy with currant, cassis, and herbal notes. Tasted Apr. 2024. Score: 92+ pts
