At the en primeur tasting, noticeable oak notes, particularly cedary, contribute to a profile also marked by a hint of salinity on the palate. Intense black fruit flavours dominate, offering a tasty experience buoyed by refreshing acidity. Tannins, while fresh, still await integration but add intrigue to the wine’s character. Although it may lack depth and complexity, it finishes moderately well, offering good drinkability.
