Initially the bottle opened with youthful, sweetly perfumed fruit that was tight with cedar and pine; there some VA which blew off fairly quickly in the glass. After a couple of hours in the glass, the true character emerged and the bouquet exhibited strong green bean characters. Ultra-fine tannins, fresh acid and medium weight fruit have been well balanced and the wine superbly crafted, it's just a pity the wine maker didn't have better fruit to work with. Blackcurrant, but oak, abundant green bean characters and look chocolate flavours complete the palate profile.
