Deep dark red core with black shaded surrounds and a dark red hue. Filling the nostrils are ripe dark cherry and strawberry aromas followed by some anise, scorched earth, sappy cedar and subtle spicy dried herb notes. Ripe almost juicy like black cherry and liquorice flavours take centre stage with some strawberry, earthy cedar and spicy herb characters lying underneath. Fine grained yet slightly sturdy tannin structure with vibrant acidity lending freshness to what is otherwise a ripe bold conclusion.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
