Deep red, honey coloured rim. Fresh and inviting nose. Smooth entry onto the palate, structured and refined with big fruit and very gentle tannins. Big aftertaste, a touch of fire then a long and intense finish. Overall, this is showing surprisingly youthful and vigorous but with a great focus - could do with another decade. 93/100. 10-Jun-12. Decanted 9 hours.
