handsome dark red robe; the bouquet is wide, rich and appealing, carries oak, its depth sure, good definition in its cassis, smoky fruit. The palate has a cool tone through it, spine provided by freshness and oak together, pedigree fruit on either side. It clusters together on a mineral, reserved finish, has good potential, plenty in the locker, is long. Its smoothness of texture appeals, and its length is suave, prolonged, oak once more on the aftertaste.
