An initial rush of green tobacco, parsley and bouquet garni with a waft of red liquorice. Fresh fruits abound - mulberry, the most obvious. Upon a swirl, cedar, spice and a flirt of toasted marshmallow. With air, the generosity and sweetness of fruit is shyly revealed. On the palate you get rhubarb and berried fruits to the fore and at the other end- a kick off the back-palate of crushed black pepper. Not forgetting mid-palate wonderfully integrated oak and spice and a 360-degree propulsion of graphite-like tannins. Cola and black olive flavours descend with an exuberant swirl- reflective of this wine's youth.
