Vibrant red heart with black tinged edges and a light rusty red hue. Fragrant rose petal, red currant and red cherry aromas blossom out of the glass complimented by dried herb, earthy tobacco, faint balsamic and leather notes. Deeply concentrated, moreish and powerful the palate is layered with juicy red cherry, red currant and red liquorice fruits. Their supple feel played against a stern yet beautifully integrated tannin structure. Lending further complexity to the back half are accents of dried herbs, earthy tobacco and spice. Finishes gently chewy with lively acidity and a very long seductive aftertaste.
