Deep, dense red/purple colour. Vegetal and peppery aromas, suggesting some whole-bunch in the ferment, turning floral the longer it's in the glass. The palate is full-bodied and round, sweetly succulent in fruit and laced with abundant soft but drying tannins. The finish is rich and supple and rolls on and on with lovely harmony and leaves an after-impression of great charm. A long-termer.
