A notably ripe yet fresh nose consists mostly of red currant, raspberry and a floral wisp. The delicious middle weight flavors possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the intense and raspy, indeed grippy and slightly rustic, finish that is borderline robust. The tannins seem to lack just a bit of phenolic maturity.
