The colour of this this inw amazing - a great deep purple ... the nose is plum, blueberry, mint, chocolate and cinnamon; the palate is a little simple, but I take that to be it s jeunesse (must speak a little French in this review) - sweet plums and spiced-blackberry ... these flavours will expand with a little time in bottle - we'll check back in t afew years.
