The tension between acidity and the textural tannins is still engaged in a tug-of-war; time will determine a balance. Now, it’s rather primary with cherries, blood orange, star anise/clove, licorice, fresh basil and mint. The medium-bodied palate is cinched slightly by the acidity, although the latter leaves a freshness on the finish. Points: 90/100
