...Sweet, clove oak scents over dark, brooding, spice dusted berry fruit. Seductive, rich, but fresh bouquet. Seamless flow across the palate, set to medium bodied weight, sweet fruited but cut with clean lines of acidity and barely-there, fine, feathery tannins. Its an exercise in elegance, almost too neat and tidy, but geez, does it carry across the palate well. Its a smooth operator, drinking beautifully even in youth.

Deep crimson. Dark plum, blackberry, blueberry aromas with vanilla, mocha notes. Richly concentrated and voluminous with generous sweet dark berry fruits, cassis, liquorice herb notes, fine plentiful lacy textures and mocha oak. Finishes chalky with sustained flavour intensity and inky/ mineral length. A lovely expressive wine with wonderful aromatic complexity, tension and fruit density. Should develop really well.
