  Absolutey stunning!!! Incredible nose just oozing out of the glass. Decanted for an hour in a Riedel decanter. Palate is silky fine with a creamy mouthfeel. Massive black berries and long aftertaste. Very nice wish I had many more...

  Still very fruit forward. Bright colour. Nose of red fruits which flowed through the palate. Enjoyable now.
