Still very early in its life - smoke dominates the nose and curiously some barnyard funk, on the palate, it’s dark fruits all round and firm tannin structure needs many more years to mellow and develop.

Still young wine. A lot of tannin and very closed at open. Interesting aroma with red fruits, violet, vanila and chocolate. Great on the palate, dry and expressive with a lot of red fruits and berry. Dry lomg finishing. Overall a very good wine for drink now or keep.

Sweet, fresh, vibrant, floral, and serving up a blast of juicy, black cherries, flowers and herbs, with licorice, espresso and cocoa to complicate things. Medium/full bodied, with a sweet, fruit filled, round textured finish to boot. 15% of the grapes were whole cluster fermented.
