This is an outstanding wine.
It a clear deep ruby colour.
The nose is extremely complex clean and pronounced. Aromas of red fruit (cranberry, strawberry) vanilla, coconut, chocolate, coffee and leather.
The palate is dry and acid is medium (+) as is the alcohol. The tannins are high but smoothed via bottle age. The flavours are pronounced and just as complex as in the nose. The body is full and the finish long.
Completely outstanding wine. I had it from a Coravin, I would love to try it decanted.
