13.75% A very attractive nose, with lots of sweet black fruit, but of a very elegant refined type. Blackberry and hedgerow aromas. Round, open attack, immediately attractive. But then it's rather hollow with nothing but spicy tannins. Some good fruit returns on the finish, after the tannins have receded. Actually this is an object lesson in over-analysing wines not being too great an idea: it works much, much better when drunk, rather than analytically tasting it.
