Very deep, dark, dense colour still with purple tints: it stains the glass. The bouquet is very oaky, mocha, coconut and vanilla, and the wine is a massive powerhouse of a wine. The tannins are mouth-coating and emphatic, concluding with a major grip. This is a very big Grange and quite chewy in texture. The finish is resoundingly long. An impressive, very long-term red wine.
