Medium garnet core, medium garnet rim. Light/moderate intense nose with developed dried red fruit, leather and vanilla. On the palate the high acidity was immediateky obvious and jarred a little. Tannins were still quite firm, but only moderately intense fruit with strawberry and hints of vanilla on a medium length acidic finish. Overall a little out of balance with insufficient depth of fruit for tannins/acidity and as such I do not think this will keep.
