Deep red with a good touch of purple: an excellent colour. There are ripe blackberry fruit aromas, clean and intense, with a touch of violets. The wine is concentrated and deep in the mouth, with muscle and grip, all in acceptable balance. The wine is firm and slightly sinewy in tannin, tight and elegant, the grip and flavour continuing long after the wine has left the mouth. It's not a very big wine, but concentrated. It demands patience, as the tannins are dominant and the flavours are yet to fully emerge. It has a big cellaring future. A superb wine - but not ready yet. Cellar it! 97 points. Drink to 2052.
