" Stylish and polished on the nose; refined, measured an impressively bold. Now opening up to deliver aromas of black cherry, red plums, tar, iron, graphite against a savoury multi-faceted backdrop of emerging regional character. Tight, structured and assertive in the mouth with alluring balance and appealing elegance. A luscious core of vivid cherry and raspberry fruit sing on a welcoming entry whilst notes of mineral, chestnut, coffee and cedar emerge on the mid palate. Marked acidity and integrated tannins keep the sweet fruit and toasty oak in-check with atypical precision. Judged to be an outstanding example from a difficult vintage, drink over the next 2 years for ultimate enjoyment. "
