Aromatic complexity meets refined structure here. Dark cherry and garrigue herbs flow with peppery intensity, while bright acidity drives mineral-laced spice through the mid-palate. The tannins show remarkable polish for such a young wine. Classic expression of this outstanding vintage with decades ahead.
