Description

Although this wine will not reach its peak for 4 or 5 years it puts in a more than satisfactory performance. In good form and full of character on the nose the main aromas are of ripe fruit and fine toast coming over elegantly from top-quality oak spices (vanilla) and mineral notes. On the palate it feels dry and silky followed by an explosion of ripe fruit (cranberries) with mineral hints and touches of coffee and tobacco. The wine strikes a perfect balance between alcohol and acid only unsettled by a lengthy decidedly tannic finish that suggests the need to decant before drinking to allow the wine to breathe.
