A magnificent red that needs a few years to soften out. Totally opaque, with black heart and deep crimson mauve hue. Lifted nose, with aroma of blackcurrant, violets, mocha, truffle and cedar. The palate is filled with the flavours of ripe blackcurrant, followed by layers of spice, earth, mulberry, truffle and cedar. Outstanding length and depth. Firm, but perfectly balanced tannins, followed by very long aftertaste of blackcurrant, liquorice, truffle, mulberry and mint with the tannins lingering on.
