Superb colour saturation possessing a dense inky black core with a deep bright dark red black hue. Intense yet still somewhat restrained aromatics of ripe black cherries, liquorice, blackberries and dark plum rise from the glass followed by toasty vanillin cedar, hints of mocha and spicy scorched earth. Rich, powerful and opulently textured yet retaining a sense of freshness the palate is blessed with luscious black fruits including blackberries, liquorice and black cherries over some dark plum, vanillin cedar, scorched earth and spice. The hefty fruit cascading over a sturdy tannin and vibrant acid framework. Long powerful aftertaste of dark plums, blackberries, liquorice, vanillin cedar and spice.
