Tasting Notes

Deep ruby-garnet in colour. Powerful, ripe and full on the nose with kirsch and raisin fruit but an equal earthy restraint. This is smoky and meaty. Succulent and full bodied, this blockbuster vintage showcases its power, with fleshy dark fruits intermingling with notes of game and chocolate. There is real drive and admirable freshness and structure to retain balance. Long and still youthful in fruit, this can be drunk now but should also reward patience in the cellar.
