"Purple. On the nose, rose petals and plum - very pretty! Exhilarating red fruit, a frank attack on the palate, which then melts into a dry, gourmet finish with a slightly bitter olive note. Very, very fine, fluid tannins, as polished as a walnut desk! Rather aromatic, suave and refined on the palate". (Jancis Robinson)
