| Tasting | |
| Colour: Dark purple core and a tawny hue. | |
|
Nose: Intense nose, some maturity and complexity with notes of spice box, tobacco, dried flower and sweet dark fruit. |
|
Mouth: The palate has a youthful and dense structure, still a bit tight with high tannin but nicely built with ripe dark berries, a fresh backbone and a long juicy finish. |
| Consumption: Drinks well but should certainly improve with age. | |
| Tasting Notes: Average concentration, full aroma of ripe fruit and vegetable notes, all have a good time. Fresh in the mouth, floral notes of bergamot alongside very attractive chemical notes. Pretty neat set. | |
