  Deep garnet. Dried cassis, bramble, prune, fig. Smoke, cedar, earth, tobacco, leather. Fully developed. Dry palate, medium (+) acidity, medium (+) fine tannins, ripe, med alcohol and medium + body, pronounced flavours similar to the nose, medium (+) finish. Very good quality, now at plateau and drinking perfectly. Has the structure to last for several more years but limited upside from here.
