The nose has notes of heady guava and strawberry, lemongrass, thyme, floral perfume, cocoa, wool shirt after a camping trip, red licorice, freshly tilled soil, tarragon. Flavors of cherry, anise, leather, lilac and a bit of pine sap. Fresh, clean, tight and focused up front with a wavy high-pitched tannin structure toward the finish.
Polished and elegantly complex, with expressive cherry and blueberry flavors, accented by crushed stone and black tea notes, building tension and lively acidity toward refined tannins.
