A wine of great depth, the fruit expresses as ripe berry and black plum, with top notes of violets, lavender, liquorice and anise. A more serious, brooding nature with darker complexities of warm earth, new leather, cedar, cacao and savoury roasted notes along with an underlying ferrous minerality typical of this vineyard. The palate is fine, full and long with a silky tannin structure giving an overall impression of elegance, completeness and restrained power. Will age gracefully for 20 years or more.
