Wow! High octane, but at the same time, balanced. Red, blue and black fruit on the nose. Violet too. Nutmeg and some cocoa dusted bay leaf. Palate is young. Licorice and cassis. Blueberry driven finish that is both powerful and refined at the same time. Plenty of time ahead for this.

For this price I better be blown away, instead I was being blown away by eucalyptus, oak and very little fruit. Not even sure time would help.
