A brilliant ruby robe, some warm spice, black raspberry and cherry on the nose, and a hint of coconut and tobabcco. Chewy and full, still young and concentrated. Anise as the wine opens. A lovely oak spice, nice clarity and tannins. Beautiful finish. This wine will get even better with age over the next 10 years.

Gloriously delicious with a long finish.
