Deep dark red black colour with a dark red hue. Bay leaf laced scents of red to black currant and mulberry stream through the olfactory senses followed by hints of vanillin cedar, dusty earth, tobacco and spice. Rich juicy red to black currant and mulberry fruits are layered across the refined palate with impressive intensity. Vanillin cedar, dusty earth, subtle tobacco, spicy black olive and gentle bay leaf accents ensue. Very fine grained tannins finishing long, elegant and fresh.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews…..
Aromas of blackcurrants, dark cherries, tobacco leaves, cedar and mocha. The palate is full-bodied with firmly framed tannins and bright acidity, showing blackberry compote, graphite, dried herbs and black olives. Well-balanced with a savory edge. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
