Fabulous scented nose of spice, truffle and sweet cherry and similar flavours on the palate. Rich and round with great length. Powerful chocolate, dried fruit, and leather aromas show great complexity. A rich entry leads to a weighty, full-bodied palate with great intensity of fruit. Shows amazing persistence and length.
Chunky tannins envelop the finish.
Delicious now, but better in time. Intensely concentrated but tannic, this is a wine to lay away for a few years. Opens up nicely in the glass to reveal cedary, tobacco complexities. Opens with beautiful, multidimensional aromas of ripe berries, mushrooms and chestnuts, while on the palate it's full-bodied and very velvety, with a long, long, fruity finish. Soft bouquet with sweet scents of cherry, mocha, black currants and leather.
