First Tasted, January 2008:
Matured in a mix of 80% French and 20% American oak casks. Very deep black crimson colour with black crimson hue. Perfumed nose of violets, spice and confectionary. There are some earthy, leather flavours on the palate, followed by spice and confectionary. The tannin structure is quite dry and has a distinctive chalky grip, which lasts well into the aftertaste.
