Decant: Just Opened - Deep colour, slight purple hint and the colour sticks to the sides of the glass when swirled. Warm nose, fruit forward and smelling of sweet strawberries. Gentle entry although there is an odd cedar tone behind the fruit making the wine slightly bitter. Mid palate complexity is good but tannins are huge and teeth coating. Excellent length. 90 points
