A deep garnet core with a faded brick rim. The nose is still tight, youthful with notes of liquorice, raisin, boot-polish and a little lemongrass. Very well defined. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins, very cohesive with superb ripeness: wild strawberry, lemongrass, smoke and dates with an incredibly long, persistent finish. There is an effortless nature to this wine.

Has great elegance and harmony, and should continue to improve for many years. Medium ruby-red with very fresh plum aromas, medium-bodied, with very delicate fresh fruit flavours, lively acidity, and a delicate finish.

Refined, supple and fresh. Medium ruby, with a nose of plums and black pepper, medium-bodied, with medium to fine tannins and sweet black pepper and fruit flavours. Will improve for many years.
