Deep purple colour; lavish amounts of everything are to be found in this wine: a cascade of black fruits ranging through blackcurrant, blackberry, mulberry, plum and licorice; firm tannins are in balance with the fruit; all the fruit and tannins are wrapped in a thick coating of French oak. Drink now if you are likely to take a $130 bottle to a barbecue, and, failing this, it needs up to 10 years in the cellar to calm down and learn manners.
