Intense cherry red colour with ruby tones with notes of blue/purple indicative of youth. It is profound on the nose, conveying a cooked ripe fruit (plum, raisin, apricot) and outstanding oaky aroma.
This is followed by hints of roasted coffee and toffee. Well structured palate with good balance between tannin, acidity & alcohol, the distinct flavour of mature fruit and full character coming through at the finish. Ready to drink now and will peak 2 to 4 years after purchase for those who can hang on that long.
