Decant: 4 hours - Ex cellars. Deeply red in colour, right into the rim. A sweet cherry juice nose with a tiny hint of burnt rubber. Full of sweet, slightly bitter, sloe fruit with some tannins showing in the mouth and a strong and lovely streak of acidity. A big and orange dominated aftertaste, full of cheek-gripping tannins but initially dominated by an alcoholic burn. Lots of life and development ahead of this wine. 92 points
