Very deep plum, this is positively effusive in style, heady and indulgent with a blend of primary berries, cherries, cassis and pepper with back-notes of grilled fennel and stone fruits. Super-intense, it is beautifully fresh on attack, bright and breezy and deceptively drinkable. In fact, the palate is so well-balanced, mineral-rich, with support from well-integrated ripe tannins, that this promises to drink well relatively early. Focused throughout it has a very attractive energy which drives the palate through to a long, harmonious and upbeat finish.
