  Still dark plum-purple red - no ageing.
  Lovely floral perfumed nose: violets/bluebells/hyacinths, underlain by a delicate meatiness (eg fresh butchered lamb).
  Medium body, still some tannin but softening, floral, tobacco juice some acidity.
  Good length.
  Better with food.

  Classic Merlot flavours of plums and leather, and despite the weight of alcohol there was still some freshness and perceptible tannins. The initial flavours were savoury then a ripeness and sweetness of fruit kicked in to produce a finish of reasonable length. CHP 86 pts

  I wish I would have waited another 3 years. Very good wine, but still too tannic. Needs time.
