Outstanding colour displaying a saturated inky black core with a deep dark purple black hue. Top notes of blackberry and liquorice overlay some dark plum, vanillin cedar and inky spice. Opulent blackberry and liquorice flavours merge into some rich dark chocolate followed by vanillin oak and spicy inky earth like characters. Dryish finish with slightly chalky tannins and bright acidity providing good structure. Aftertaste of inky blackberries, liquorice, subtle dark chocolate, vanillin oak and spice. Restrained and youthful this needs some time.

Other Reviews….
This is very good. A plush pasture of black fruits of every description, liquorice, bonbon and bitter chocolate, is deftly pruned by firm framing tannins, each impeccably detailed. The oak is beautifully integrated, tucked in behind the veneer of polish. This boasts the Vale's telltale richness married to restraining structural pillars. Drink by 2029.
