Dense ruby at the core. Ripe red fruit – strawberry and raspberry – on the nose with a pleasantly intriguing herbal note. The ripe fruit continues on the palate with a dense, sweet edge, showing off the sunnier side of this vintage. Underneath, a mineral-laden, taut, energetic edge runs through the mid-palate to the finish, balancing the fruit component with a refreshing profile. Youthful still 5 years in and delicious now, this will continue to evolve for at least another decade. A lovely, well-made, delicious representation of the vintage.
