Opaque brick crimson colour with deep crimson hue. The wine is quite opulent. Liquorice, spice, blackberry, vanilla and black pepper notes emerge. Full bodied, voluptuous palate, fine dry, slightly chalky tannins. Flavours of liquorice, white pepper, black pepper and spice emerge. A big fruit bomb of a wine. Very long, peppery aftertaste.
