Totally opaque black dark red colour with a deep very dark red hue. Pronounced ripe black cherry and raisin like aromas are overlaid by some varnishy like characters. Rich and full bodied the palate has traces of varnishy characters evident but they are not as prevalent as those on the nose. Black cherry, blackcurrant and liquorice are followed by varnishy infusions and spicy oak. Fine grained tannins. Aftertaste of varnish, subtle liquorice and spicy oak.
