The colour is a bit developed but never mind. It offers a mix of berries and plum, tobacco and cedar and attractive unobtrusive nutty oak. Medium bodied, fresh and lively with excellent balance throughout - nothing hot, jangling or jarring here. Sweet fruit and savoury flavours co-exist in harmony and the length is excellent. Lovely wine - made for drinking.
