Excellent flavours straight out of the bottle. Light purple and deep red fruit on the nose, with plums, mulberry, dark cherry, underlining mocha, pepper, a mid weight palate raspberry, sour cherry, slightly sweet. with full med but grippy tannins, med length on the finish, well balanced all the way Cellaring... just enough structure, acid and balance, maybe medium 2~4yrs, A very enjoyable and complex mid weight wine now thou.
