Wild blueberry and damson plum flow with graceful precision. Almond skin and licorice root add complexity, while lavender lifts the finish beautifully. Medium-bodied with gentle tannins that emphasize purity over power. The 2016 shows lovely restraint and floral elegance. Drink over the next 2-3 years.
