" Opaque with tight, bright, purple rim. Rich, ripe berry fruit nose with grand backing of deep, red rose and hint of violet. Sweet spice and clean ok add to the interest. Rich and full in the mouth with deep, ripe berry fruit flavours along with rich spice. Hints of chocolate and coffee flavours and clean oak. Smooth texture and supple tannins. Very attractive drink now but will well reward another five or six years of development. "
