Here the expressive nose is a bit more elegant with softly spicy and earth-inflected aromas that derive mostly from the red side of the fruit spectrum. There is a bit more concentration to the slightly more refined medium-bodied flavors that flash a hint of salinity on the firm and built to age finale. Good stuff.

Bright mid-red. A little bit dusty on the nose. This shows the most elegant fruit so far and will be approachable very soon. Persistent long soft red fruit with just enough acidity. Tasted: February 2020.
