" Deep purple core with tight, fading edge. Rich nose leads with ripe blackberries, cherry, blackcurrant and followed by an attractive smoky note , dark rose and lavender. Hints of anise and savoury spice. Full fruited entry into the mouth with layers of ripe berry fruit spreading in steady flow across the palate. Silky texture and beautifully toned. Perfect balance of all elements. Fine tannins . Succulent and seductive now yet designed for long development. An absolute treat. "
