Retasted 01/12/2010: Opaque black dark red colour with deep dark red hue. The nose is a little reserved with aromas of blackberry, liquorice and spice emerging with an earthy leather like overlay. Full bodied and quite joosy, the palate displays generous flavours of blackberry, plum and liquorice with a spicy back palate and a meaty earth like overlay. Velvet smooth tannins with long aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice, spice and earth.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
