Deep and bright garnet. The nose gives black currants and plums, with dazzling minty notes above a background of wet herbs and earthy tones, leather, smooth spices and clove. Roundness and good balance at the palate, with quite a lot of generosity. Fine tannins, still needing some more polish, add more density and lead to an expressive spicy finish of cooked fruits and minty floral accents.
Wine Spectator

Very minty, with sanguine notes to the well-spiced plum tart and dark cherry flavors. Delivers a broad and tannic finish, where beefy accents linger. Drink now through 2023. 7,200 cases imported.

On the nose of this wine, intense star anise and meaty aromas blend with notes of bell pepper and plum. The palate displays concentrated green notes alongside cooked plum and fig flavors with a hint of oak and sweet spices. This is a medium-bodied wine with soft tannins. The finish is short in length.
