(vinified with 100% whole clusters): Good medium red. Reserved but highly nuanced aromas of bitter cherry, rose petal, red licorice, cardamom and white pepper. Quite tightly wound and classically dry, with fruity-peppery acidity and strong spiciness contributing to the wine's inner-mouth vibrancy and definition. Conveys an impression of great delicacy but also stains the palate on the extremely long, youthfully imploded finish. This will need at least 15 years in bottle to unfold.
