Fragrant, fruity, varietal and new, scents of fresh red plum and cherry, some heirloom red apple skin, spices from soil and oak layer in complexity and intrigue. A dry wine touches the palate first then flavours of raspberry and cherry then spice push through. Tannins are firm, acidity has a medium+ power adding mouthfeel and with the tannins a youthful tautness. Wood flavours and tannins add their own voice with a palate squeeze reminder. A young wine still and needs some time to settle and develop with best drinking from late 2024 through 2029+.

The palate is velvety and plush up front, brimming with wild berry fruits, currants, lightly roasted coffee beans and just a hint of sweet baking spice. A streak of fine acidity brightens the mid palate, blending seamlessly with a veil of powdery fine tannins to lift the palate towards a satisfyingly elegant finish.
