Matured for 18 months in French oak barriques. Magnificent impenetrable inky black colour with a dense black dark red hue. Pronounced ripe black cherry and liquorice aromas mix with scorched earth, vanillin cedar and blackpepper notes. Decadently rich and voluptuously textured the palate is soaked in lush black cherry and liquorice fruits which are underscored by edgy acidity. Subtle dark chocolate, vanillin cedar and spice characters also chime in. Ripe, slightly grippy tannins with a long black fruited aftertaste.
