Tasting Notes
Vivid ruby colour. Very intense and dense nose, full of ripe dark cherry and blackberry, lovely underlay with spicy notes, an exciting bouquet. Powerful opening on the palate, rich, with grippy and gripping tannins, building powerfully, then becomes quite brittle and bold on the finish, but could improve significantly with further ageing. It seems a little nervous at the moment.
