The wine has a brilliant, youthful colour with cherry highlights. The elegant nose opens out on wild berry aromas reminiscent of blackberry & bilberry, fruit flavours on the palate develop over fine tannins that will mature with ageing, building to an attractively firm & well-structured finish. Substantial alert & well-structured on the palate, its very soft tannins are perfectly enfolded in rich cherry-stone, spice, leather & blackcurrant flavours. The finish, combining charm, refinement & character, is thoroughly typical of both the terroir & the vintage.
