Aroma: The aromas are currently very restrained, with red fruit, classic oak & coffee notes.
Palate: The palate has concentrated black-fruit & a firm structure. Tannins are fine & plentiful.
Conclusion: The wine is medium bodied, but the restrained fruit will clearly open with time. The wine is well made & finely balanced but its the brooding core of dark-fruit will need plenty of time to open.
