Medium ruby . Quite deep and round summer fruits , spiced dark cherries on the nose , pine resin, and a meaty note . On the palate there are ample ripe summer fruits, a mix of red and dark , cherry , red plum , blackberry and blackcurrant , dried herbs , and quite a mineral saline finish . The wine is well balanced, quite high gritty tannin and good acidity that becomes more noticeable and fresh with time in the glass. Good length. This will require quite a few years, another 5 at least and will probably improve over the next 8-10 . Very good though I’m not sure if it’s worth the extra over the excellent regular bottling , especially in a year like 2019.
