Plucked from the cellar too late, served it cool at 13 degrees Celsius. Nose has a beautiful blend of crushed violets, toasted oak and forest floor. Very seductive. The body was blackish purple and inky. Gorgeous, rich black berries upfront moving lithely over soft tannins. The finish goes a bit tart and for a wine of it's stature maintains fabulous acidity.
