Full bright Purple. Nose is closed, the palate has good density, tightly
grained, and more extracted here, finishes well, quite powerful. 88-
90/100 2022-2035
Medium deep colour. Dark cherry slight wood varnish notes. Well concentrated and supple with attractive dark berry fruits, red currant notes, fine plentiful chalky tannins and excellent mineral length. Sinewy graphite finish. Tannins are under control. Should develop into something decent. 91 points
Dark purple red with violet hue and almost black core. Elegant aroma reminiscent of blackcurrants and blackberries, ripe elderberries, discreet spiciness and hints of roasting aroma. On the palate elegant, fine tannins, ripe fruit, juicy character with good length.
