Deep, dark ruby red, an opaque core, subtle brightening on the rim. Fine oak, subtle notes of blackberries and cardamom, delicate notes of liquorice and candied mandarin zest, multi-faceted, with a young bouquet. Juicy, a refined sweetness, ripe cherries, silky tannins, an acidity full of finesse, a taut minerality, long and lingering, strong ageing potential, but definitely still needs time.
