- The colour is just beginning to lighten at the rim. There is ample secondary influence to the spicy dried red berry scents that reflect additional notes of soft earth and a whiff of the Sauvage. There is both excellent intensity and minerality to the beautifully well-detailed middle-weight flavours that culminate in a linear, focused, sneaky, long finish that is the duty and still a bit austere. This is unlikely ever to be a seductive wine as it's shaped and defined by its acidity, but I very much like the depth of the wine. I would further note that while this could certainly be enjoyed now, there is a bit of upside potential remaining, though with that said, I wouldn't advise ageing this for the very long term as it risks becoming edgy in time.
