Inky dark purple core and hue. Still youthful aromatically but layered with plenty of stuffing like ripe cherry, plum, cassis, aniseed, tobacco, fine oak and some roasted coffee notes. The palate boasts a high concentration with fine proportions, refreshing and well-polished tannins, layers of inky dark fruit underlined by fine oak and a slight toastiness. Muscular and very long finish, still youthful but with all parts in place should develop tremendously well.
