Medium ruby, wider more garnet rim . Dark and more dusty , more mineral , iron filing. Again lighter redder fruit , lighter body, less body of fruit in the mouth , slightly shorter on the palate also . Drink now and over the next 5 years. .

Beautiful nose with black fruits and toasted goodness. Palate is a joy with plenty of fruit with balanced tannins. Great length. Overall very pleasant
