There's a dusty character to the tannins, which complement the tart pomegranate and raspberry fruit. It's already quite smooth, lightly toasty and finished with a dollop of cinnamon.

A bit brooding for now and tightly focused, with complex layers of dark berry, stony mineral and black tea that persist toward mildly grippy tannins. Best after 2018. -TF
