Deep, dense purple–ruby colour, the aromas on the nose alone hit me like some revelation. Truly complex, with notes of wet leafs, forest floor, black currant, leather and bell pepper. Enough tannin and fruit to go a while further, but drinking superbly right now.

Really needs some time in the decanter, wound up super tight. Funky earthy nose with sour cherry and topsoil, very fleshy, rustic body of blue and red fruits, a bit of red bell pepper, bakers chocolate, loads of pencil shavings, a faint suggestion of spruce. Really crunch skeleton with serious, almost saline minerality. Fruit fades before the minerals and earth. Really complex. Give it plenty of air and a long ponder.
