Expressive nose displaying rich black fruit, blackberry, black cherry, a hint of dry cherry, licorice, leather, garrigue and limestone. Excellent concentration, concentrated black fruit, rich and round, medium acidity and mineral and a long ripe black fruit driven finish. This is a big scale fruit forward CDP.

Magnum, Had with Hungarian food. Cherry, ginger, leather, spice. Well balanced other than a touch hot but this suited the food. Needs a long decant, 4 or 5 hours will help move it along, it was better and better as time progressed.

Floral on the nose, bramble and dark fruit in the glass. Great for sipping but wonderful with food.
