This is the second tasting of this wine, which is settling down and beginning to build. Very deep black crimson colour with black crimson hue, showing excellent cling. Violet and dried apricot top notes delivering a perfumed lift. The palate weight is filling out, with flavours of spice, apricot, blackberry and liquorice emerging. Fine grained soft tannins with aftertaste of dried apricot, blackberry and liquorice.
