The already appealing wine nevertheless guards a future full of development possibilities and a multi-faceted structure behind its fruit plenitude. With a little patience and airing, subtle nuances become apparent: the freshness of wet stone, the sharp influence of graphite, spicy notes such as pepper, a hint of wood smoke and the green hints of laurel, boxwood and blackcurrant. Its earthy character will be even more dominant as it matures.
