Graphite and crushed stone dominate the nose, with blackcurrant fruit struggling to emerge alongside pronounced herbal tones. The palate shows moderate cassis depth but feels lean and acid-driven. Angular tannins currently overshadow the fruit, creating a structural imbalance that demands patience. Needs time to soften and integrate.
