Pale garnet red-garnet. Open and perfumed, in the classic register, with plenty of rusty iron, dried flowers, bright red fruit, dried herbs and more. The palate really delivers a wallop of flavour, high intensity, with succulent acids, light but firm, dusty-grippy tannins, in check by fruit extract. Very good length. I like the leaner, more angular profile here, a modern interpretation of tradition. Drink 2022-2030.
