Inky black in colour with a very deep dark red black tinged hue. Freshly crushed blackberry and dark cherry aromas intermingle with some ripe plum, liquorice, light earth, a touch of dried meats and pepper. Rich with ample concentration yet only medium weight the palate is filled with ripe dark cherry, blackberry and liquorice fruits which meld into scorched earth, vanillin cedar, meaty characters and peppered dried herbs. Robust tannins firm up the back palate and give the mouthfeel some chew on the long peppery aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 14%
