Nose
The nose is particularly expressive, with aromas of ripe red fruit (cherries) and black fruit (plums, blackcurrants, blackberries). The barrel ageing also brings out toasty, slightly vanilla notes and a very pleasant hint of hazelnut. The whole thing is very seductive and delicious.
Palate
On the palate, the attack is soft and velvety, followed by a generous mid-palate that offers volume and a pleasant sweetness on the finish that covers the tannins perfectly. Good length. A promising vintage in more ways than one, with great ageing potential.
