The wine is clear and bright with a deep ruby colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, black pepper, lavender and cocoa. The wine is off-dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. It has medium(+) ripe fine-grained tannins and a high alcohol. It has a full body and pronounced intensity flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, black pepper, lavender and cocoa. The finish is medium.
It is a very good quality wine. It has a very nice fruit concentration that balances quite well the alcohol, and it shows some degree of complexity provided by floral and oaky notes. However it is not complex enough to be outstanding, and the finish could be longer.
Can drink now, but it has enough tannic structure and fruit concentration to develop a bit more of complexity in the next 2-3 years.

Lush, tart, and dominated by black and blue fruit. There's plenty of spicy oak and vanilla but stays balanced and composed. Coffee on the finish.

Attractive aromas of dark berry fruit and cocoa, then rich sweet dark berries leading to a spicy note and smooth good finish.
