" Opaque with tight, grainy, blue/purple edge. Deep intensity of ripe berry fruit on the complex nose. Backed by floral notes, chocolate, coffee and rich spice. Delicate smoky notes. Rich and intensly sweet fruited in the mouth with great length and big structure. Yet beautifully balanced and the finest texture. The tannins are there and will ensure good development but are so well managed as to give dryness rather than appear tannic. Agreeable persistence. Loads of development to come. "
