Fully saturated red with ruby tinges. Spicy and perfumed on the nose, with red cherry and plum fruit lifted by violet and complicated by a very strong note of coffee. Juicy and precise, but very youthful though, with the firm tannins currently cutting off the wine's fruit. There is a good acid/tannin spine, so all this might need is at least five or six years of cellaring to show all it has to offer; hopefully the fruit will hold out. (ID) 91+
