Dense inky black heart with a deep vibrant dark red black tinged hue. Aromas of liquorice, dark plum and choc mint fill the nostrils trailed by some vanillin cedar and dusty earth notes. Rich fleshy textured blackberry, liquorice and choc mint flavours meld into a subtly toasted vanillin cedar, earth and spice back drop. Bright juicy acidity and fine velvety tannins with a medium to long finish that combines succulence with freshness.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews…..
A supple, smooth, rich but uplifting red on deck. There's ripe plum, salted licorice, choc-mint, clove and sweet tobacco scents and flavours here, lavish, generous and delightfully velvety. There's a touch of tannin grip in the mix, but, really, this is about the more hedonistic elements in play, and leaning into the sweeter/ripe fruit, spices and comfort the wine brings. It's all quite lovely. Drink by 2029.
