Very dark, concentrated and delicious. Cassis and plum are the main drivers, with some blackberry and wet dark earth in there. Also a clean mineral note as well. Palate is silky and finish is long and mouthwatering. Great wine in a good vintage.

Black fruit driven. Alcohol a little too high, but smooth tannins.
