Inky dark purple core. Youthful nose revealing some new oak, vanilla, paired with ripe dark fruit like cassis and cherry. A dense and youthful palate with fine proportions, rather high tannin but fine polish and extraction, digest dark fruit with blackberry and cassis notes, good level of freshness, the oak is still there but well-concealed with crushed berry, tobacco and spice flavours on the finish. Long and persistent.
