Mint on the nose. Dry, very defined tannins early on then in mid-palate washed with juice. Linear, with delicate floral notes, so light at the end yet poised with a fine savoury dry length. The quality of the tannin leads you to expect the fruit to be chewy but it surprises you by its liftedness. What an incredibly pretty wine.
