Feels: Medium

Tastes: I could not be happier at the quality of this wine. Pure was the first word that came to mind. It is heading into a sleepy period in its development already - the berry tones dominate at the moment. But the spice and tannins are sublte, balanced and will build a great shell in this wine over the years. The depth of flavour is pronounced, yet this is a wine reserved by nature. The contrasting terms are not confusion - this is just a wine that is all class.
