Tasting notes
Bright medium red. Bitter chocolate and a whiff of violet on the nose. Quite reticent on the palate, offering flavors of black raspberry and chocolate. Comes across as a bit tannic, even dry, with a firming note of crushed stone. This needs a racking and is very difficult to decipher today.

Here the nose just soars from the glass to reveal strikingly fresh and pure red berry fruit, wet stone and discreet earth hints. There is an equally striking sense of energy to the precise, intense and stony middle weight flavors that possess very fine balance and depth, all wrapped in a lingering and notably firm finish that suggests that this will need 10 to 12 years to reach its apogee.
