Deepish red colour with a tint of purple. The bouquet is cedary, spicy, intense and stylishly oaked. Violets and other floral nuances too. The wine is medium to full-bodied in the mouth, with intensity and brightness, firm grip and length, the effortlessness and great persistence are impressive. It's not a big wine but has plenty of concentration and drive. Masterful stuff. Lovely now, but cellar it for best rewards.
