Fairly forward nose of cassis, with a non-intrusive backdrop of cedarwood. Medium bodied with a balanced, but not substantial, palate. Perhaps lacks a huge amount of depth but still drinks very well indeed. Despite the reputation of its sibling I cannot see huge ageing potential here, but that does not take away from its drinkability now.

Dark purple fruits & salty black liquorice on the nose. Meaty palate with a lovely sanguine acidity. Robust, masculine, and drinking well.
