" Opaque with tight, fading, purple edge. Massive nose packed with all manner of ripe berry fruit, whiffs of coffee. Vanilla all the way through with dark rose giving a great floral background. Smooth, seamless flow into the mouth where all the nose promised is delivered with great concentration and intensity yet remaining elegant and refined. Well modulated with supple tannins and fine texture. Beautiful balance and gorgeous, fruit filled finish. Super harmony. Great to drink now but another six to eight years in the bottle will bring far greater reward. A truly great experience. "
