Lovely and immediately attractive nose of sweet blackberries and warm oak with a little nuty evolution, shows depth and minerality; firm but elegant too, dry but sufficiently juicy, firm 1996-tannins; adequate length, estery cherries.

Needs a bit of time to open up; warm spicy depth, red berry fruit, medicinal and minerally; firm 1996-structure, good extract and rich tannins, slender but still sufficiently fleshy; good length, dried fruit. Good but will dry out.

Surprised at just how good this wine tasted. Well balanced, fruit with tertiary flavours.
