Screw cap. Colour; dark red, dark core. Nose; rich, opulent, sweet fruits with secondary nuances emerging. Pepper, wood, some mint, herb, some spice, faint caramel. Palatte; ripe red fruit in abundance, savoury, herb, Juicy and sweet. Tannins are present but in balance with acidity and alcohol. The quality of the fruit is evident. I think the structure is there to see the wine into another 10 years and maybe beyond. Lovely drinking now but I believe glimpses of what's to come. 19 years old now and still room for impovement.
