" Almost opaque with bright purple rim. Rich concentration on the nose of ripe strawberries, , raspberries and wafts of plum and hint of banana. Fine entry with elegant poise while flavours flood the tongue. Total repeat of the nose with addition of chocolate and wide range of spice. Smooth, supple tannins add to the smooth texture. Great balance and firm structure. Long, fruit filled finish. All in very youthful mode and will reward another five to seven years in the bottle. "
