I last had this wine in March 2014 and it has not changed a lot ,if anything it has developed greater richness Inky black with purple hues in the glass. The nose is layered with sweet blueberry, red plum and peppery spice aromas, with an aromatic lift. The palate is multi payed and medium to full bodied in style with a juicy and supple texture, finishing with rich, silky tannins and excellent length. Fantastic drinking ,still a pup

spicy blackberry nose with hints of toasted French oak. Toasted notes echo on the suave palate. Very fine concentration and a very good finish. This has more than a hint of class about it - New World in style, but heading toward France for inspiration. Not hugely complex but layered and balanced. Drinking well now but will certainly age, if not transform.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, cranberry, violet, mint and alcohol/hot. It tastes like raspberry and chocolate The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture, silky tannins. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.
