Deep ruby red, opens with reluctance but with good swirling profound and intense ripe red fruit and herbaceous notes and some coke and peach(!) on the nose. Wild on the palate. In motion. Feels effervescent in the beginning but this settled soon later. Again pronounced ripe red fruit, cherry, forest berries, red currant, again coke, then some spice like capsicum and black pepper, with dried herbs and a herbaceous smack. Bold and jammy without being too heavy. Still vibrant. Well balanced and good complexity with lively tannins. In need of the boldness to counterbalance the alcohol volume (17.5%!). Day 2: still wild. Needs time to calm and settle. Impressive
