A little tight at first with the fruit reticent and dominated by tannic/acid structure, but with some air it really unfolds to show a core of dark fruited flavours framed by classic Graves smoke and tobacco flavours, cedar and savoury earth. Still quite youthful with a sense of real freshness and brightness to the flavours, drinking nicely with some air but has plenty of time ahead. Lovely wine that I'm glad I own more of.
