Supple, fleshy and subtle, a bit on the earthy side, but the spicy wild strawberry and currant aromas and flavors emerge gracefully to make this appealing now. Good balance.
This fully mature wine displays an herbaceous, richly fruity nose with scents of cedar and earth. Somewhat disjointed, it is just beginning to lose its fruit and fat, so I would opt for drinking it over the next several years.
Deep, fairly intense ; good rich fruit and flesh.
