Great colour and vibrancy with a pink hued rim. Flavours of black currant and boysenberry, fresh raspberry and violet with a lick of peppercorn contrast a firm youthful texture and backbone of acidity. There’s some wood smoke and toastiness accentuating the tension and some poise here, a wine that needs time to settle more and integrate then develop complexities. Firm, taut and best enjoyed with food. Ideal drinking window from late 2025 through 2030+.
