The wine is deep ruby in colour. A ripe balanced, elegant and complex nose of strong intensity; aromas of blueberry, black plum, black currant, liquorice, cinnamon, a touch of leather and graphite. It is greatly structured and balanced on the palate with brisk acidity, fine ample tannins, moderate well integrated alcohol and a full body; flavours of blackberry, black rowan and cinnamon in quite a long finish. Needs further ageing.
