Clear medium intensity garnet, thin legs. Clean nose with medium intense aromas of black cherry and prunes with hints of tobacco and saddle leather. Still developing. Dry, medium+ acidity, medium tannin and alcohol, pronounced flavours of prunes and Christmas cake. Long finish but oak and fruit flavours still coming together. Very good and will be better in a few years time.

Exquisitely enmeshed oak and fruit. Subtle power and focus that ensures great length, driven by silken threads of tannin. Glorious.
