Whole clusters announce themselves through lifted redcurrant and cinnamon spice. The palate shows remarkable tension. Taut, mineral-driven, with strawberry fruit threading through star anise and Asian spice notes. Fine-grained tannins never intrude, letting the wine's natural sap and energy carry through a precise finish. Pure and focused, with spice providing the complexity.
