Cool blue fruits on the nose, a little shy at this point. Intensely fruited, really rich and ripe but clean and clear, giving a depth of ripe blackcurrants but juicy, fresh and alive. Almost sharp, it's intense with bite to the fruit and such lean tannins that give a firm but light grip to the mouth. I like the attack, it's bold and confident but refined at the same time. Good fruit profile, balancing acidity and lovely lean, mineral tannins. Well structured, nothing too much or overdone with freshness throughout. Well worked with precision. Spicy, black pepper, cedar, tobacco, liquorice, a touch of coffee, but all giving nuance underneath the fruit, tannins and acidity. It's concentrated no doubt, this has power, but is presented carefully with such a lifted, juicy finish. This will be a beauty. Drinking window: 2028-2048. Score - 95.
