Impenetrable inky black heart with a very deep dark red black hue. Ripe blackcurrant and liquorice scents show good intensity out of the glass with some dusty vanillin cedar tobacco and bay leaf notes also evident. Rich succulent blackcurrant red liquorice and mulberry fruits carry plenty of weight and an opulent feel across the palate with some dusty vanillin cedar tobacco and infusions of bay leaf lining the back half. Polished yet sturdy tannin structure with a long deeply fruited finish.
