" Opaque, grainy, blue edge. Enticing, sultry nose with dark berry fruit, black pepper and violet backing. Big, full entry into the mouth with firm alcoholic grip. Ripe plum dominates the palate with pepper and spice coming in at the edges. Despite the fullness there is only a mild touch of tannin. Smooth flow and fine balance. Long, full fruited finish. Should develop well with four to six years in the bottle. "
