"Deep colour with a purple rim. The nose has vibrant dark-shaded fruit with a soft undertone of mocha/coffee - after twenty minutes the coffee?s gone. The concentrated fruit expands even further in the mid-palate. There?s plenty of tannin, and though it?s not the most sophisticated, it?s quite well textured and very well covered by the fruit concentration. The finish is long, giving a slow diminuendo. This is quite a villages wine but will require plenty of slumber. Excellent."
