Coming into maturity now. Pale-medium ruby, with a narrow watery rim. Medium+ intensity gamey, chilli spice nose, over plummy, cherry fruit. Some smoky minerality on the background. Hint of oak spice, and raspberry perfume emerge. Light-bodied, with medium+ acidity, but quite dense gamey, cherry flavours, with a sour cherry twist. Medium tannins giving structure to the medium+, minerally, spicy finish. Not bad at all.
