Ruby. Now clearly entering a very attractive phase, the wine combines freshness, precision, and developing aromatic complexity. The nose is expressive and nuanced, offering a spectrum of red cherry and berry fruit layered with subtle darker tones, dried floral hints, and a distinct mineral inflection. A lively thread of spice runs throughout, suggestive of partial whole-cluster influence, adding lift rather than dominance.

On the palate, vibrant acidity drives the wine, giving energy and clarity to the fruit. The structure is present but understated, sitting quietly in the background and allowing the wine’s elegance and balance to take center stage. The finish is notably long and persistent, echoing fruit, spice, and mineral notes with impressive poise.

Overall, this is a beautifully balanced, refined wine that rewards those who value vibrancy, aromatic detail, and finesse over sheer weight.
