" Opaque with purple, grainy rim. Big, concentrated nose with ripe plum, cherry and combination of dark berry characters. Hints of pencil shavings, clove and anise. Rich and full in the mouth with layers of flavour following the nose. Great balance and texture. Some savoury notes add to the complexity. Smooth flow with silky tannins. Long, ripe fruited finish. Many years of potential to prove. "
