A rich ruby-cherry in colour, this presents quite punchy fruit on the nose, red and black, with exotic hints of green tea. The palate is richly-textured sensual and ripe, much more opulent than the rather high-toned nose suggests. Andrea reports that this has evolved the most and, complex and chameleon-like, it is still changing. The tannins on the palate are powerful but well-integrated, and there is a lovely mineral tension, with light and shade throughout, adding definition.
"Rich, seductive and silky a rounded, full and harmonious translation of Merlot - rather decadent."
