It's a medium-weight wine of structure and class. It tastes of blackberries/blueberries, polished cedary/smoky oak, dust and violets. It all feels seamless and integrated. There's better quality oak here - or oak that is more to my preference, anyway. Tannin is stringy and chalky but the juiciness of the fruit makes it all seem tidy and fresh. If I tasted this in a wine show I'd plonk a gold medal on its head - so to speak - in a heartbeat.
