A: Medium garnet N: medium dried black cherry, prune, smoked meat, wet black roses, baking spice, mocha, chocolate truffle dust P: Dry, medium (+) acid, high alcohol, medium (+) ripe tannin, full body, medium (+) intensity and medium finish Here the chocolate persists for an age but the fruit falls off very quickly. The alcohol is feeling hot to me and I wish for more ripe fruit to balance it. The intensity on the palate is more concentrated than that on the nose fortunately but is definitiely pushing the flavours forward. However, the fruit finish is well below optimal and the fully developed fruit here means this one is not going to really improve on ageing, The wine has well defined flavours and shows some complexity with 5 descriptive clusters. The wine is very good quality.
