The pretty and pure fruit comes through nicely, showing crunchy strawberries, wild cherries and hints of flower stems. Medium-bodied, tight and focused, with firm, silky tannins and an energized finish, where the quality of the tannins is impressive for the vintage. Hints of matchstick and spice at the end. Drinkable now, but better in a year or two.
