The youthful, medium-deep cherry color is slightly hazy. Perky acidity and medium-intense tannins frame the medium body. The bright fruit flavors of cranberry, lingonberry and rhubarb are joined by new leather, old wood and tobacco, which all lead to a modest finish that’s starting to show tertiary character. There’s no need to wait on this wine drink now–2015.
