Good medium red. Enticing lift to the aromas of redcurrant, black pepper, sage, mint, spices and flowers. Concentrated and fresh if not hugely expansive, conveying a slightly aggressive quality to its nicely delineated flavors of plum, redcurrant, spices and herbs. The tannins are firm but fairly sweet, and the finish persistent. This wine held up nicely in the glass. This vintage began with a cold, rainy flowering and irregular clusters, and the estate did extensive work to even out the ripeness of the fruit.
