Tuesday, November 11, 2014 - The wine is clear and bright with a medium garnet colour. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of red fruits (raspberries, red plums), black fruits (dark cherries), pungent spices (black pepper, liquorice), oak (cedar) and bottle ageing (truffles, mushrooms). The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium(+) mouth-watering acidity. It has medium(-) fine-grained tannins and a high slightly warm alcohol. It has a medium body and pronounced intensity flavours of red fruit (red plums), dark fruits (dark cherries), pungent spices (black pepper, liquorice), oak (cedar) and bottle ageing (truffles, mushrooms). The finish is long.

It is an outstanding quality wine. It has a pronounced concentration well-balanced by the alcohol and the acidity, and a lingering finish. It also shows a complex nose ranging from fresh fruity aromas to bottle ageing maturity notes, including oaky and spicy aromas. Can drink now, but it has enough acidic structure and fruit concentration to continue developing more complex tertiary aromas over the next 3-5 years.
