Vibrant purple red edges with a deep red core, beautiful healthy color. Baking spices, violets, graphite, a touch of meat and blackberry. The palate is tight as this is still a baby so give it a few years time or be sire to decant. Tight layers of tart black and red fruits compete with some earth and black tea. Good structure and acids, finished medium+ in length.

Liked the wine, good nose and easy to drink but several layers of flavour, deep colour and lots of ripe fruit!
