At this stage, this wine is quite lively with springy acidity and forward black fruit aromas and flavors. The front loaded palate delivers a big pop of juicy black currant, almost liqueur-like, then leads to savory notes of black licorice, allspice, and a lingering minerality. Deceptively light on its’ feet, the density and layers of complexity that lie just beneath the surface suggest that this wine has a long life ahead of it, and could benefit from a few more years in the bottle, or a few hours of decanting. Enjoy!
