" Opaque with blue/purple rim. Dark, ripe berry fruit leads the nose with prune and plum. More plum- like characters in form of sloe. Firm full entry into the mouth. Lots of flavour along the lines of the nose. Hints of chocolate and spicy oak. Good structure with a soft texture despite firm tannins. Well integrated and balanced. Developing great complexity. Long finish. Lots of potential development. "
