Opens with a super flashy bouquet that promises complexity, with deep purple fruit, chewing tobacco, and smoky, spicy notes. The palate is intense, with grainy tannins that lend structure to chewy dark fruit and a mouth-coating texture. It’s firm and well-built, with a nice balance of acidity and richness, though still tight now and set to evolve beautifully in 2 years. The finish is fresh, with a lovely mix of plum, blackberry, and mint, all underscored by earthy and spicy layers.
