Totally opaque black dark purple colour with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Spicy dark plum and red liquorice scents intermix with clove, mint, vanillin cedar and subtle earth notes. Mid weighted, the palate has a refined feel to it with pepper infused flavours of red plum and liquorice overlaying meaty characters, light scorched earth and spicy vanillin cedar. Graphite like tannins and fresh acidity lead into a savoury, elegant, red fruited aftertaste that has peppered meat elements coursing through it. Cellar 5-6 years.
