This has fantastic color - deep, inky, purple-red. Aromas are dominated by cedary oak that integrates well on the palate with mulberry, dark plum & bullace fruit - with cinnamon hints. Cassis cuts in strongly on the palate where it is lifted by fresh acidity. The wine has good depth, a rich velvety texture & mouth-coating tannins, all reflecting the ripeness of the vintage. Lovely long flavors develop in the mouth. Could be aged for 20 years
