- This is relatively open with a nose of subtle toasty oak, crushed vitamin minerality, red fruits and a floral top note. With air this becomes sweetly jammy with a savory overlay of vanilla, olive, roast meat, and gravel. Medium bodied and just a touch rigid at first this remains focused with lots of soft tannins adding a chewiness and good purity of slightly jammy cassis fruit filling the midpalate. The finish is moderately tannic with subtle leather and herb notes contributing a slight rusticity to the package but it is satisfyingly complex and muscularly sinewy.
