This vintage will be quite reserved in its youth but I expect it mature very well and grow into its potential. The tannins are prominent and well integrated and refreshing as a number of the parcels were picked quite early. The aromas are brooding but with complex notes of pepper, licorice, perfume and black cherries. The palate entry is quite dense with lavender and dark berry fruit. The finish is dry with well spread tannins ending with savory and currant flavors. Shiraz, Cinsault, Tinta Barocca, Grenache.
