Length and complexity abound in this wine. The finish shows this pulsing wave of savoury charm, encircling the mouth, throbbing - beckoning you in for more. Silky tannins complete the picture of dark cherries, some barbecue meat and new leather.
Woody nutty palate, silken smooth medium body. Excellent balance. My only criticism is a little spike of heat that rears its head, but it quickly pops back below the parapet. Beautiful.
