The wine offers a complex nose of raspberries, a touch of sultana raisin, dark soil tones, lovely spice tones, a touch of violet, coffee grounds and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and a bit raisiny in personality this year, with good acids, buried tannins and a long, complex and gently warm finish. This has good balance for its ripeness level, but I would guess that hydric stress came into play in the vines this year for this wine, causing a bit of raisining of the bunches, concentrating acids, sugars and tannins, so that some of the customary charm of this bottling is not to be found here. It is still well-made
