Medium to full red-purple; ripe blackberry/earthy varietal character on the bouquet, then a palate with great depth and power, supported by controlled, savoury tannins and lingering blackberry fruit. The oak handling throughout cannot be faulted.

Savoury elements to the strong, minty, curranty power of it, though it’s easy to suspect that the tannins are starting to pull out away from the fruit, as if the fruit is being out-muscled. That said, those tannins are very pure, very ripe, and very difficult to ignore. Hard to assess at this stage of its development maybe. There’s sweet fruit herre with leafy edges.
