Dark ruby garnet with purple reflections and a hint of brightening at the rim. On the multi-faceted nose, fine heart cherries, a touch of nougat, a pleasant herbal savouriness and a touch of orange zest. The palate is complex and taut, with ripe red berries matched to a finesse-rich structure and supporting tannins that will need a few more years. Has considerable ageing potential.
