It took about 15 minutes in the glass for this wine to really show its true character. This was just an absolutely amazing wine, plenty of complexity and a finish that just seemed to go on forever.

Nothing really changes again clear opaque garnet hue with blue and purple tint. The nose was clean and has aromas of roasted black currants, mingled with violets and fresh cut tobacco. The wine rivals an intense Napa Cabernet, with it’s tannic structure and its flavours of blackberry, black currant and liquorice that have been wonderfully oaked. It’s elegantly drinkable now despite the power, but should comfortably glide through at least the next 5 years.
