2007 vintage. Medium ruby. Pronounced on the nose. Fresh blackberry, dark plums and cinnamon spice. Quite heady. On the palate, high acidity, medium plus body, high alcohol, high flavour concentration. Fairly toasty and smokey - wood influence. Raging, grippy, chalky tannins - yet to integrate. Fairly long, fruity finish. Blackberries to the fore, something leafy developing. Still way too young. But clearly will be extremely good in 5 plus years when the tannins resolve themselves.
