Deep, dark red colour with a good purple tint. The bouquet is very complex and starting to show mellow-aged characters, with dominant foresty, mossy, eucalyptus and dried herb aromas, with chocolate and vanilla from wood-maturation as well. The palate is medium to full-bodied and smooth, with elegance and line. The palate profile is trim and compact, with lovely balance and drinkability. It's superb now and has a long future stretching out before it. Drink 2015 - 2038.
