This is quite a plush style - grippy, chewy tannins on the palate full of heady, perfumed fruit. Incredibly aromatic and floral on the nose and the palate. I love the texture - tannins are sleek, suave, intense and concentrated but so silky too. Finessed red and blue fruits - blueberries red cherries and plums - combine with more savoury elements of liquorice, cinnamon, dark chocolate, smoked earth and mint, but all quite crisp and precise. You can feel the pent up energy right now - there's an underlying vibration to the fruit giving an overall sense of excitement. Drink from 2028-2050. Reviewed by Decanter in April 2022.
