Instense blackcurrant , creme de Cassis nose. Quite sweet attack , reasonable length though comes across as slightly lacking in complexity. The acidity is balanced and the tannin is ripe. This is nice now and I don't see it improving much more though it will undoubtably last quite a few more years.
