Sunday, February 26, 2017 - Outstanding.
Clear, medium, ruby with legs.
Clean, medium youthful nose of blackberry, dark cherry, vanilla and white pepper.
Dry, medium acid, medium silky and integrated tannins, medium (+) alcohol (14.5%), medium body, medium (+) flavour intensity of blackberry, cherry, vanilla, cedar and white pepper. Long finish.
Outstanding, with immaculate balance, complexity and length, so well balanced that alcohol at 14.5% was on the cusp of medium.
Can drink now, for harmonious primary fruit, but will age gloriously with plenty of complexity already hinting at a myriad of potential tertiary flavours developing.
Screwcap (375ml bottle).
