Impenetrable inky black colour with a deep dark red black hue. Sailing out of the glass are ripe blackcurrant aromas infused with cedary tobacco, dried herb, dusty earth and spicy black olive notes. Dense, lavish and solidly built the full bodied palate is flush with rich blackcurrant and dark cherry fruit which over shadows a cedary tobacco, dried herb, black olive and spice back drop. A ripe sturdy tannin structure imparts a chewy feel onto the otherwise opulent conclusion that shows plenty of length.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
