A really youthful appeal, with an immediate impression of dark fruit aromas – black berries, mulberries and black currants. A second viewing shows the beginnings Merlot’s “darker” side, with tar, leather and earth just starting to add complexity into the background. Rich, dark berry flavours like black jubes filling the front and mid palate. Firm tannin then takes over and gives the wine a linear, astringent but not too aggressive finish, which is juicy and concentrated.
