What a banger! The bouquet is stunning, with notes of black rose, a mix of black and red fruits, wood, smoked meat, briar, and wet earth—nuanced and highly detailed. On the palate, it’s incredibly juicy and fresh, with a structure and volume that make it an absolute pleasure to drink. The tannins are still a bit green, but they’re so well integrated that it doesn’t detract from the experience. Absolutely a must-buy.
