"This has notes of freshly turned earth, crushed rocks, currants, gravel, peppercorns and hibiscus on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with fresh, dissolved tannins and fresh acidity. Textural, fleshy and voluminous with some sour cherry character at the center and a sharp, stony edge towards the finish. Delicious now."
