Outstanding depth of colour displaying an impenetrable black as night core with a very deep dark red black hue. Pronounced ripe blackcurrant and liquorice aromas laced with bay leaf sail from the glass followed by underlying cedary tobacco characters and spice. A bounty of rich fruit floods the mouth with great concentration and creates a generously textured feel. Flavours of ripe blackcurrant, liquorice and mulberry are to the fore underpinned by elements of tobacco, spicy vanillin cedar and traces of bay leaf. Finishes slightly chewy with well integrated, sturdily built tannins providing a great framework. Fantastic depth and power with a long ripe blackcurrant, mulberry, subtle liquorice, cedary tobacco and spicy dried herb aftertaste.
