  Quality:
  Outstanding
  - Ripe, intense, concentrated, jammy black fruits, lots of sweet spices and sweet oak, balanced with sharp acidity. Tannins are very well integrated and silky smooth, together with the high alcohol creates a very rounded mouthfeel. The fruitiness, oakiness, and tertiary flavours of tobaccoand tar, though intense but do not overwhelm each other. Bold, layered, well structured flavours with decent complexity and finish, this is such an enjoyable wine.
  
  Suitability for bottle ageing:
  Suitable for bottle ageing.
