91/100 45

Resonably deep with strong, youthful ruby hue. Big, rich and very fruity “fruit bomb” style. Still has a good structure - not blousy or porty. Lovely wine with intensity and some complexity. Beginning to get secondary bottle development characters.

Tasted: Oct 2008   Closure: S'cap    Average price: n/a
