Surprisingly tight tannins for a slightly surprisingly light frame. Also a little heavy on the smoky 'cigar box', which is a shame as the rest of the wine is charmingly appealing. Difficult to say whether the fruit has the stuffing to emerge strong enough from the tannins in 5-10 years time.

Dark blood red. Complex deep bouquet; very refined. Juicy with good acidity, bitter, oak and sweetness. Developing during the evening. Long soft aftertaste. Will probably be even a little better in 1 or 2 years.
