Decant: 7 days - Purple in colour, opaque and cloudy. Lovely nose, full of soft blackcurrants if a little spirity. Sweet fruity impact, masses of dry blackcurrant, very fruity. Tannins are soft but chocolatey. Very lovely palate and with great balance; delicious fruit. Purple plum skins on the aftertaste, followed by a long and fragrant chocolate finish. A lovely wine, probably early maturing and in an elegant style. 88 points
