Medium to full purple/red. Not a deep colour, but very bright and beautifully hued. Very complex spicy peppery, meaty and charcuterie, and lightly herbal, stemmy aromas, reflecting complexity of vinification as much as quality of fruit. Oak happily takes a back-seat. Flowers and violets, with a full spice cupboard of aromas and flavours. Lovely wine! Clean as a whistle and lively, refined, superbly balanced and lingering long on the aftertaste. A masterpiece of elegance.
