Deep dark ruby colour with purple reflections and a touch of edge brightening. The nose shows fine black fruit, nuances of blueberries and liquorice, with dark cherries and some tobacco notes in the background - multi-faceted, but somewhat restrained overall. Powerful, juicy and vivid on the palate with well-embedded wood and a subtle hint of nougat. There's polish here to the ripe cherry fruit and chocolaty nuances on the finish, but it still needs a lot of time.
