Nose of ripe cassis, fresh plum, raspberry, grilled green pepper, old eucalyptus, cedar, dusty soil.
On the palate, cassis, grilled plum, blackberry, dusty soil.
Medium+ alcohol, full body, medium acidity. Well integrated, round tannins lends wonderful structure to the wine.
This wine is still fresh and easily has another ten years of life left in a good cellar. The tannins are fully integrated lending to a beautiful silky mouthfeel. Impressive wine drinking very well now.

Drinking very smooth. Maybe downward slope. Minimal depth but notes of iron and metal

Dark fruit, spice, eucalyptus, tobacco, minerality, well balanced, finishes with some smokey oak. Outstanding.
