On the nose, this wine blends blue fruits with an underlying minerality, pencil shavings, and a floral note of crushed violets. On the palate, it is flavorful and dense, with a touch of salinity and blue fruits, clay-textured tannins, and a crisp acidity. There is an enormous amount of energy flowing through this wine: it is still young, but has all the makings of an exceptionally good wine. A plentiful, fresh acidity keeps it vibrant right to the finish.
