Tasted from Barrel:
"This is quite fresh with hints of pepper to the lightly toasty aromas of various ripe dark berries, earth and a hint of the sauvage. There is a bit more volume to the acceptably concentrated medium weight flavors that are also nicely refined on the dusty, focused, very firm and youthfully austere finish. This pretty effort could use better depth so at least some patience should prove helpful."
