Highly perfumed, with heady notes of savory herbs and spices (think mint, ground pepper and oregano), there’s lusciousyet-fresh blueberry and plum fruit, chocolate, violets and a little tomato stem. There’s power to the palate but a constant lift of cool-climate acidity, wound tightly with spicy, talc-like tannins, with length and balance.
