Constrained fruit, with a ferny and eucalyptus note. Mid alcohol lifts dark fruit over a dusty chord of mineral and dry soil. Dried purple flowers, bay leaf on non-fruit. Finishes exceptionally clean with grippy, dry tannin that holds the acidity on almost a nebbiolo level, sans red fruit. Still could use half a decade, but shows incredible promise. Quite a showing.
