" Deep core with wide crimson/purple rim. Generous nose offers, perfume, ripe berry fruits where bramble stands out. Big in the mouth with firm feel with complex flavours of ripe cherry, plum, chocolate. Hints of pepper and vanilla. Supple tannins and long, well extended finish. Attractive now especially hard cheese orroast. Patience and allow to develop over three, four and more years and you will be well rewarded "
