Tasting Notes
Only the core is still opaque, becoming more translucent towards the rim of the glass, but the colour is a youthful ruby, deep and glossy. The nose is an immediate hit of incense-scented, crushed forest fruit with lovely inflections of cedar wood and the merest edge of woodsmoke. More air adds an incipient note of soy sauce. The palate is vibrant with fruit, dense, glossy, brimming with rich berry coulis and tannins that have the beginnings of velvet, already resolving with sweetness that is seamlessly integrated. There still is a note of spirit that will weave in completely. What a marvel, what a promise. Still far too young at ten years old and with exquisite, full-fruited length and the promise of the smoothest texture.
