" Dark core of ruby-red fruit, with a garnet rim. A gentle whiff of violet, followed by oodles of juicy fruit aromas: blackcurrant, damson plums, strawberries, blueberries. Little pockets extrude their scents: incense aromas, graphite, leather, cedar, pepper, tobacco, vanilla and oak. All these diverse elements cram themselves together to create a wonderful smooth, elegant, composed wine, beautifully dense and fantastically layered. Beautiful now, this will also cruise along for quite a few more years. "
