Dark ruby-garnet colour, purple reflections, subtle edge brightening. Leafy nuances reminiscent of 2008, delicate balsamic nuances, a hint of dried figs, background with red berry fruit, delicate hints of bergamot. Juicy, lively, salty texture, still very young and somewhat inaccessible, still a little bold on the finish, needs time, fine sweet cherry fruit on the finish, will develop into a great food companion.
