Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is purple and and looking dark. On the nose it is intense, youthful, complex, refined and tempting. The taste is round, ripe, fruity, with silky tannins, full-bodied, with balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has spice, floral, chocolate, blackberry and blueberry flavours. The finish is long, gentle, lingering, flavorful and vibrant. This wine is fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
