Subtle black fruit on offer here, briary hints that allude to a pebbley minerality. Thinking more about dusky violets. Barossa Shiraz paired back.
An initial subtlety deceives, giving way to a somewhat intense pepper and cloven spice palate. The magic here for me is the minerality riven through the wine; graphite tannin, fine and persistent across the palate.
A slight bitterness through the final third adds a savoury element, a gentle acidic punch awakening. Good showing. 92
