Friday, November 2, 2012 - Still quite deep in colour but now claret rather than purple and with a faint hint of brick at the rim.
Quite pervasive nose mixing quite bright blackcurrant fruit, leafiness/green pepper, with swirling revealing much richer fruit.
Medium bodied but with good intensity and complexcity. Acidity keeps it in line without ever seeking attention for itself. Quite old world style.
