Totally opaque black crimson red colour with deep dark crimson red purple hue. Perfumed aromas of blackberry, ripe blackcurrant and liquorice intermingle followed by some dark chocolate and vanillin confectionary. Silky smooth and seductive the palate is filled with plushly textured waves of ripe blackberry and dark chocolate followed by a touch of liquorice, some well concealed vanillin oak and spice. Velvet smooth tannins. Long ripe blackberry, dark chocolate, liquorice and spicy vanillin oak aftertaste.
