The colour is super-saturated purple, which stains the glass. The aroma is impressively youthful, bright, concentrated and fruit-powered, framing blackberry and boysenberry with floral high-notes. The wine is almost painfully dense and concentrated, with mouth-coating tannins and extraordinarily chewy on the back-palate and finish. This is hard work at the moment and demands much patience. Cellar it—it will be worth the wait.
