A spicy, pure and expansive nose features a ripe mix of red currant, blueberry, plum and violet aromas that slide seamlessly into rich, generous and well-detailed mineral-inflected flavours that are shaped by very firm but phenolically mature tannins. There is an impeccable sense of balance to the serious, firm and mouth-coating finish. This stylish and classy effort should repay well 12 to 15 years of cellar time.
