There's extraordinary energy in this wine. It displays a dark nose of black cherries, bramble fruit, violets, forest, licorice, bark, carob and leather. Density and tension dominate the full-bodied palate, with firm, velvety tannins. It's slightly austere in the finish at the moment, yet it's crunchy and full of potential. Try from 2026. Score - 96.
