Medium to deep purple/red - very good colour. The aroma is young and nascent, as the colour suggests, and is all about bold, ripe primary fruit. Cherry and plum. The palate is likewise straightforward and emphasises bold, simple primary fruit. Nice and ripe and plump with fruit sweetness. Good concentration and power; long carry. It would richly repay some cellaring.

A youthful expression with heady aromas of raspberries, cherries and a sprinkling of wood spices. The palate fills out with sweet and tangy fruit, there's a richness, but no heaviness, with fine tannins and fresh acidity to close. A lovely wine. Drink to 2030.
