    This wine's menthol, crushed herb, red berry and violet aromas emerge in the glass. The palate evokes raw red cherry, pomegranate and white pepper and is structured by firm acidity and bracing tannins, feeling tight and austere.

    This opens with rustic aromas suggesting leafy underbrush, game and a hint and of barnyard. The funky aromas follow through to the approachable, rather muddled palate, along with leather, truffle, dried black cherry and a confectionary note. Drink now.
