Medium-plus ruby colour – fading a little towards the rim, but almost impossible to guess the age. The high toned nose is still primary, though if I had to try and put a name to the fruit I’d say crushed raspberries. The palate has good fat, very good acidity and lovely concentrated fruit. The tannins are svelte and well managed and the length is very impressive. Actually this is a very refined wine that should only get better – leave for 5 years if you can keep your hands off it!
