This possesses the most floral-suffused nose in the range, and in particular violet and lilac, on the mostly black fruit and just turned earth nose. The plum, round and velvet-textured medium-bodied flavors tighten up markedly to become firm, palate soaking and quite serious on the powerful and sneaky long finish. This tightly wound effort will need time but offers excellent development potential.
