A markedly earthier nose reveals its aromas of both red and dark berries and a whiff of sauvage character. The sleek, delicious and vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess a beguiling mid-palate texture while exhibiting very good length on the youthfully austere but only mildly rustic finale. This should drink well young but age well too over the mid-term.
