This wine starts with a shock of acidity, followed by a ripe blackberry note. It is upright, structured and still young, and its sweetness is just beginning to show through the tannins and acidity. Give it 3–4 years.

87–89. Barrel sample. An explosion of ripe fruit fills the mouth with deliciously juicy flavors. Black currant and bright acidity combine with soft tannins to give a wine that has an already delicious character.
