Very dark, dense purple/red, formidable colour. Lots of oak, but also lots of spice. Very fleshy, silky-smooth and supple. A gorgeously textured wine, supple and rounded, harmonious and despite its size, has a lot of elegance. Very fine and harmonious with great length and balance throughout the palate and aftertaste. Outstanding wine.
