Semi translucent dark red core with black shaded edges and a red to light brick red hue. Drifting through the nostrils are fragrant scents of dark cherry, anise and rhubarb followed by some dried herb, spicy bramble and subtle varnish like notes. Spicy dark cherry and rhubarb flavours decorate the palate with a supple feel. Some anise, earth and brambly dried herb like characters linger underneath. Velvet smooth tannins with a soft yet spicy finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.

Other Reviews…..
Highly perfumed and highly flavoursome equals highly appealing. Florals with Middle Eastern spices, forest floor and joss sticks with some menthol, too. The mid-weighted palate is sweet from oak and fruit, all cherries and plum compote with lithe, supple tannins and juicy, tangy acidity. A lovely drink. Drink by 2029.
