Bright deep coloured wine with an intensity of aromas of dark cherry fruit and some oak notes.

Very smooth with loads of fruit forward and clean and long with a hint of chalkiness in the tannins and savoury finish.

Best decanted while young but has brilliant cellaring potential for the next 8 to 10 years.
