Tasting Notes
Dark ruby with purple reflections and delicate rim brightening. Fine nuances of nougat and liquorice, fresh blackberry fruit all underpinned by delicate fine oak savouriness and a hint of caramel in the background, a multi-faceted bouquet. Juicy and elegant, pleasant cherry fruit, fine, well integrated tannins, mineral and long. Already seems quite accessible but has handsome reserves for ageing.
More about the tastingDeep, dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Somewhat restrained on the nose, subtle notes of black cherry, nuances of cassis and a pleasant touch of oak. Powerful and tightly woven, hints of blackberry, firm, ripe, supporting tannins, a very good structure and good fruit expression on the finish with notes of ripe cherry. A very good future ahead with definite ageing potential, but will need a little longer to fully reveal itself. A modern version of the legendary 1996.
