"Good ruby-red color. Knockout nose combines black raspberry and minerals, hinting at an almost exotic ripeness. Superripe, dense and minerally in the mouth, with brisk framing acidity and complicating herbal and spicy nuances. Finishes very long and firmly tannic, if a bit youthfully tight. Offers excellent potential, but needs some additional time in bottle."
