2010 vintage Lovely deep garnet colour introduces the the tightly packed dark berry fruit with a hazy lavender warmth. Plenty of spicy oak and almost meaty richness. Surprisingly medium bodied in the mouth, maybe lifted by the high alcohol. Packed with fruit, dry and astringent tannins give this wine years still. Long and satisfying aftertaste.

Started quite ripe, almost port like fruit and richness. With time showed this minerality, stone, lean youthful character. Fruit richness died off leaving youthful structure. Impressive
