The wine is medium ruby in colour. Quite a complex and spicy nose of very good intensity; aromas of black currant, prune, liquorice, black pepper, bay leaf, toast, fried hazelnut and a touch of leather. It is harmonious and quite masculine on the palate with fine ample tannins, warming alcohol and a full body; flavours of black currant, bay leaf and prune in quite a long finish. Ready for drinking with a potential for ageing.
