Impressively rich and opulent the palate delivers lavish flavours of dark chocolate, liquorice and ripe blackberry followed by some vanillin oak and spice. Dryish finish with slightly firm but fine grained tannins. Long aftertaste of liquorice, dark chocolate, ripe blackberry, cedary vanilla andspice.
