Moderately saturated medium red. Very ripe, wild aromas of currant, mocha and game. Very ripe and smooth, but with good lift in the mouth. Sweet flavors of plum and spices. Fairly round, large-scaled wine, finishing with dusty tannins and solid backbone.
From soils with more clay and therefore more marked tannins in the wine. Sweet, gentle with fine tannins well hidden. Quite tough underneath. Already deceptively easy to drink but underneath those tannins rise up to persuade you that this is really quite a tough drink. Almost Burgundian sweetness. Much more complex than the other two. (JR)
