Deep dark red colour with black tinged edges and a dark red hue. Intense ripe dark raspberry, dark cherry, plum and liquorice aromas bound from the glass over subtle dried herb infusions and light spice. Rich juicy flavours flood the fleshy textured palate with ripe dark raspberries, ripe cherries, plum and a touch of liquorice prevalent over vanillin cedar and spice. Finishes with good vibrancy, silky smooth tannins and shows excellent persistence. Long, alluring aftertaste of juicy dark raspberries, plums, liquorice and spicy vanillin cedar. Irresistibly moreish.
