Magnum. Brooding dark fruit is edged with herbs – it seems to ooze self-confidence. In the mouth there’s width and dimension, no fat, plenty of tannin and a fresh dimension of fruit in the mid-palate. Achingly young but real authority here – a bit of an aristocrat!

The nose shows the most (so far) greenery to add to the more ubiquitous herbs, fruit is less obvious. Despite the nose there both width and depth to the flavours. The primary fruit definitely plays second fiddle to the structure today, yet there is a surprise burst of interesting flavour just as you begin your trip into the finish.
