A couple of years ago, this was tight and tart but now, this wine has really come into its own.
Color: Pretty purple with ruby rim. Nice sheen and sparkle.
Nose: Lush blackberry with cinnamon spice notes
Palate: Great mouthfeel with plush, long flavors of black fruits. Very smooth and well balanced with lively acidity and some unresolved tannins on the finish.
It will hold for a few more years but why wait - it's great now...

Go West! Tasting (The QEII Centre, Westminster, London): Beautiful ripe blue and black fruit, licorice, alcohol, nice integrated oak, balanced in the palate too, same sort of fruit, fine tannins, nice structure, med to long finish. Tasty and outstanding quality
