Full red colour with a strong purple tint. The bouquet is rich and dark berry, cherry-like, with some whole-bunch, stemmy characters and a trace of toasty oak all well-entwined with the berries. Earthy and parsnip, root vegetable notes too. The palate is profound, powerful and concentrated, with a fleshy softness that is delicious. A lovely wine with a big future. Great structure and power. Magnificent now but cellar a year or two for best results.
