The wine announces itself with charry, gravelly barrel derived characters then earth, leather and lifted dark, wild berry fruit. You get some five spice, herbal notes and game in there too. A big shopping list of stuff in the bouquet. In the mouth, choc-mint freshness at first, then an impressive build of ultra-polished, shiny texture that is lusciously fruited and concentrated and formidable. The wine does lift with mixed peel freshness of acidity but is deeply serious, lashed together with fine, yet steely tannins and flashes of fancy oak.

Deep colour. Fresh elemental dark cherry/blackberry/praline/sage/liquorice aromas. Lovely buoyant, juicy and concentrated dark cherry/blackberry/dark chocolate/aniseed flavours, rich plentiful grainy tannins and underlying malty nuances. Finishes chalky and brambly. Possesses wonderful vinosity and potential for longevity.
