A deep ruby red in color, this LBV immediately reveals aromas of fresh black fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant, followed by cherries, and displays a fine maturity. The palate develops complex flavors, amongst which cocoa and mint stand out. Meaty, very well balanced and with great length, it builds on a finely formed structure with elegance and superb volume. The full, fruity finish, lightly mentholated, adds great coherence to the whole.

"Deepest crimson with black core. Aroma of deliciously ripe black fruit, both fresh and dried, blackberry, blackcurrant, peppery prune, plus a very attractive stony/rocky quality. Dark and a little charry, like roasted-potato skins. A terrific LBV with some of the style of a vintage port but more accessible, and still with ageing potential."
