A wine I had not had before and even though young, wanted to get a handle on it for future buying decisions. Pop and pour, i did go back after a few hours and revisit this one. Great wine. Inky purple in color, magenta at the rim. The nose has cassis, pepper, spice and a slight celery note which was not over powering and made it interesting. On the palate, this is rich with kirsch/cassis. Sort of sweet liqueur from ripe fruit but again in a restrained manner that was very nice. Lively acidity. Nice minerality. With air a slight charred earth emerges. Complex if still tight. Long finish. This has upside but with air can be drunk now. Patience will, however, be rewarded.
