Deepish red/purple, youthful colour. The bouquet is sweetly-perfumed with floral and herbal nuances, traces of flake tobacco and multi-layered, the palate full and rich, concentrated and beautifully poised with vitality and freshness from acidity and vibrant fruit. Long, long carry. Tannins in great harmony. Loads of charm, and the energy of the wine is most impressive. An outstanding wine.
