Color: ruby with a light garnet rim. Nose: dried red fruit, earthy, smoky, dried herbs (sage and thyme) and paprika. Evolution dominates here more than the primary fruit. Palate: beautiful freshness, with fine chalky-textured tannins. Fresh red cherry, cranberry, dried wild herbs and smoked paprika. Earthy finish. Pairing: beef tataki with soy sauce. Comment: a wine close to its peak, showing beautiful evolution. Best enjoyed now.
