A full purple colour with an attractive sheen of new oak on top of the plump fruit. Here the oak is playing second fiddle to the concentration of the fruit. The acidity is correct, the tannins are completely hidden behind the intensity of the fruit, the length is certainly there. This is a giant in the making, quiet at the moment but with great potential and a feeling of magical fruit waiting to be unleashed. - JM

This has a wonderful, pure nose of wild strawberries, kirsch, raspberry and a touch of Clementine. Sensuous and seductive, as is the supple, beautifully balanced palate with rounded, supple tannins and so much elegance that it fully justifies its enviable geographical location. Raspberry, damson and wild strawberry on the plush finish.
