Excellent wine, though still a touch too young to show its full potential. The bouquet is beautiful - strawberries, damp leaves, mushrooms, earth, hei cha, and spice. Medium-bodied but with real depth and a firm, structured frame. The tannins are still quite grippy and pronounced, clearly in need of more time to soften and integrate. But the style is unmistakable - elegant, sophisticated, and unmistakably itself, with a long, expressive finish. There's a bit of wildness, but it's all in the right place.
