January 3, 2014 - APPEARANCE: clear; medium garnet, medium legs & tears
NOSE: clean; medium intensity; flavour characteristics: red fruit (straberry, raspberry, red cherry), blackberry, forest floor, sweet spice (vanilla), floral note (violet); developing
PALATE: dry; high acidity; medium+ body; medium tannin (fine grained but grippy); medium+ alcohol; long finish; pronounced flavour intensity; flavour characteristics: as per nose: blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, forest floor, tobacco, white pepper, slightly bitter
READINESS FOR DRINKING: can drink now, but has potential for ageing 3+ years
FURTHER REMARKS: very good wine with nice concentration, starting to show its complexity, strong components are nicely balance. Slight bitterness prevents it from being outstanding. Overall very good value!2 people found this helpful 4,217 views
