Deep ruby hue. Rather youthful but with a core of concentrated blackcurrant and black cherry fruit under a blanket of fulsome oak. The palate reveals robust tannins – this is certainly in need of cellar time – while there is plenty of acidity to keep it afloat while those tannins soften. Vanilla, tar, nutmeg and clove to the fore take centre stage on the beefy finish. Patience is the word. 2029-2035–MP
