Very pure, lifted aromatics - red cherry, faint sous bois, limestone, paprika and cardamon spice. Sweeter tones waft in the glass too. Palate is unctuous, luscious and cool with red cherry again, then some prickly spice, light tannin grip and a fresh wash of pomegranate acidity. Some cedar spice and faint pepper to finish. Fine yet rippling with youthful drinkability now, but with plenty of time to don the mortarboard.
