Concentrated and closed on the nose, lots of coconut, vanilla and red fruit, still prominent roasted aromas. Oak clearly present in the mouth, fairly smooth fruit, juicy, with ripe but still slightly prominent tannins, good presence, powerful body, quite persistent, quite noticeable roasted aromas on the palate, still undeveloped, modern, rather international style, good finish. Needs time to mature.

Best to drink: 2006-2015+. What our ratings mean
