2010 vintage. Medium ruby hue, very bright. Deep and alluring aromas of red plums, tomato leaf. Oak is providing smoke, sweet spice and vanilla essence. There's a slight violet note. On the palate, full bodied, high acidity - integrated, fine high tannins, pronounced concentration and long finish. Plush oak, plums and red berries, leather and dried meats. Quite a full on wine that also manages a degree of finesse. Much better effort than the unbalanced 2009.
