Good medium red. Enticing aromas of red cherry, raspberry, mocha and toasty, charred oak. Suave and silky in the mouth, with the added fullness of the year but also healthy balancing acidity. Not hugely intense but supple and satisfying. Finishes with ripe, dusty tannins and good length. Already an attractive drink but should develop nicely over the next decade or more.

"Aromas of blackberry and smoke with hints of toasted oak. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and lots of fruit. This is a rich and seamless wine with lots of everything going on in the bottle. Best after 2011. 15,000 cases made."
