Medium/deep garnet core, medium rim. Earthy nose, even hints of farmyard on first opening. Certainly a developed nose, with underlying red fruit and hints of caramel. Some plum eventually emerging. A medium bodied wine with medium acidity and medium intensity strawberry and plum fruit. Certainly displaying more fruit on the palate than on the nose, but also with earthy notes and attractive caramel hints on a reasonably extended finish, with some fine tannins still evident. Enjoyable, mature, harmonious wine, drinking well now.

Good wine. Full bodied, fruit, good acidity and bitter. Now at its peak, but can last for some time.
