Full bodied the palate delivers densely concentrated flavours of ripe dark plum, blackberry and dark chocolate followed by a hint of liquorice and some spice all wrapped up in an opulent texture. Silky smooth tannin structure. Excellent length with long ripe blackberry, dark plum, dark chocolate and spice aftertaste.
