  The wine is clear and bright with a deep ruby colour.
  
  The nose is clean and developing, showing pronounced intensity aromas of herbaceous (eucalyptus, hints of green bell pepper), black fruit (ripe blackberry, ripe black currants) and oak (chocolate, walnut).
  
  The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. I has high supple tannins and a medium(+) alcohol. It has a full body and pronounced intensity flavours of herbaceous (eucalyptus, green bell pepper), black fruit (ripe blackberry, ripe black currants) and oak (chocolate, walnut). The finish is medium(+).
  
  It is a very good quality wine. It shows clearly its typicity through its ripe black fruit flavours and the eucalyptus notes. The finish is persistent and it has very concentrated flavours. On the other hand a better example of this style would be more complex.
  
  Can drink now, but it has enough tannic structure and fruit concentration to develop some more complex tertiary aromas over the next 2-3 years.
