2015 vintage:
Good colour; there's a lot going on here, from the bouquet to the palate, to the finish and aftertaste. The richness of the varietal fruit may be partly due to its elevated alcohol, but it's not overripe, allowing blackberry, black cherry, pepper and spice to all have their say. French oak and plush tannins also make a positive contribution.
