Deep dark ruby in colour. Aromatically the wine shows vibrant, controlled notes of dark plums, chocolate and a touch of spice which sit alongside subtle, brief glimpses of fountain pen ink and a hint of bright mineral lift on the back end. On the palate the dark plum and chocolate notes re-emerge providing an intense depth of flavour whilst retaining a sense of control and balance as the wine moves through. A superfine tannin frame provides a clear line of travel.
