Inky dark core turning from purple to red. Finely tuned nose, stylish oak and butterscotch with ripe black currant, plum, tobacco and mild spices. Dense and concentrated with a fine extraction, ripe yet present tannin giving a good lift, integrated oak with savoury dark fruit flavours with some mint, sage and cocoa flavours, and a long and lingering finish. Still youthful but finely polished, should develop tremendously well.
