" Vibrant youthful colour that belies the wines age. Very expressive and complex nose packed with perfumed ripe brambles and damson, combined with brown spice, and hints of tobacco. Vibrant and lively palate, with a lush body and well managed compact tannins that flow seamlessly across the palate The fresh acidity keeps the wine lively. Aging beautifully and still with lots of life, a lovely expression of this varietal, drinking beautifully now but will last. "
