On the tart side, with bracing acidity driving the currant and cherry flavors. The oak is a bit assertive for now, but the texture is smooth, reaching a fine equilibrium in the end. Shows good length.
A spicy, fresh and mildly exotic nose of tea, wild red berries and plenty of pungent earth gives way to more obvious mineral-inflected flavors that possess a taut muscularity on the balanced, understated and attractively persistent finish. Even with the muscle, this is essentially a wine of finesse as the supporting tannins are really quite fine.
