Linear, compact and straight. Beginning to exhibit some aged characteristics but not one to get excited about. Talks a good game initially but then one finds there is no depth and it repeats itself over and over again. Quite a bore and to be avoided at parties.

In its sweet spot now, very balanced wine with everything in place. Mid-weight with redcurrant, cassis and cigar on the nose. Lovely free flowing palate that enhances the bouquet accompanied by fine tannin. Supple. Finish has lovely earthy complexity.
Drink now to 3+ years

Very light weight upon opening and ruby red. Once in full stride, dark berry, cassis, some cigar and mineral tones. Lovely body that is supple and powerful at the same time. Black currant, cherry and some brightness for contrast. A long spicy finish. Fine tannin and very smooth.
Drink now to 6+ years.

Excellent after a long decant.
