Appearance: Vibrant mid-weight violet.
Nose: Sweet spices to start, but serious stuff behind
- roasted meats, black pepper, dark plum, dark chocolate, young polished leather.
Palate: Some pepper & other 'dark' spices on roasted meats to start. Dark, plummy fruits in the middle. Only medium bodied, but with plenty of fine, nutty tannins through the finish.
Cellaring: Will reward cellaring to at least 2020 & quite likely well beyond.
