Magnificent inky black colour with a deep dark red black hue. Intense yet quite finessed aromatics of blackberries, dark plum and liquorice sail out of the glass followed by lightly smoked vanillin cedar, confectionary and pepper. Rich dark plum, liquorice and blackberry flavours flood the medium to full bodied palate. Refined supple feel with sturdy yet fine grained tannins and youthful acidity providing a great framework. Subtle elements of vanillin oak, fennel, earth and pepper are also evident. Excellent power and a long finish.
Cellar 8-10 years.
