Very bright, deep, youthful purple colour. Lots of spicy, clovey, walnutty aromas, Chinese five-spice too. The wine is bright and fresh, intense and slightly nervy, with a hint of leanness, and a smoky oak and earthy note. A forceful finish, with firmly drying tannins. Good, but just a bit four-square.
