Tamarillo, violet, fresh earth and subdued berries are suggested by the bouquet, which is a little reserved at this stage, and the palate is savoury and dry, with some chew and mouth-puckering grip, the aftertaste running out long and tongue-snapping. It's full-bodied and tightly-composed. This wine will benefit from some ageing. The tannins are a little sappy, but this is rectified by the protein of meat or cheese. Potential plus.
