Plush and opulent in a refined way, this has a wide frame, slightly large tannins giving a good mouthfeel, lots of freshness and enjoyment. Not massively complex or long, but there's nice immediate appeal here; it's round and gently voluptuous. Has both a sense of sharpness as well as plushness, really bright and energetic, has a sleekness, too; a lovely combination of factors keeping a bright overall effect. Nothing sticks out, a touch of liquorice on the finish, but tannins are well integrated. Refined, keeps a sense of style, but nice overall red fruit freshness. Lovely fresh ending with a minty touch. Drink now and over the next five years to enjoy the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Decanter, 92 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes of spiced plums, ripe blackberries, dark chocolate and walnut.
