Dark core, with vibrant ruby disk. Enticing, complex nose, meaty and animale on opening, then red fruits, crushed strawberry, leather, sweet musk and cinnamon. Layered, complex and lifted, wonderful. Sweet fruited palate, grainy tannin, dark chocolate and loads of peppery spice on the long finish, very, very good stuff indeed, best bottle so far.

Sweet red fruit overlays brooding garrigue notes on the nose. The palate is taut and serious with fine tannins and further underlying herbal edges. All is complemented by a smooth satisfying finish showing good balanced acidity.
