The merest hint of tar rises from the glass. The palate needs a lot of swishing to open up but allows glimpses of black cherry and white pepper, of ripeness and cinnamon spice, of precision and freshness. The tannic frame is fine but still closed and very crunchy. Allow this to mellow a little, then rejoice in the balance provided by the vivid freshness. Drink 2020–2028.
