Wednesday, March 2, 2011 - Dark glossy ruby red; not showing any sign of age. Powerful and stunning nose, ripe and very complex with ever-changing aromas of sweet cassis, blackberry, black cherry, mint and a delicate touch of toasty oak. The palate is young, luscious and full of flavour yet fresh and perfectly balanced. There are seamless layers of cassis, ripe blackberry fruit, mint, roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate. The ripe fleshy flavours are endless and last for minutes. Utterly brilliant.
