Appearance: Deep, crimson red.
Aroma: Plum and cherry are the dominant fruit aromas, with Christmas fruit-cake and chocolate coming to the fore additionally. Hints of savoury notes.
Palate: Chocolate flavours follow through beautifully onto the end palate. The subtle oakiness contributes magnificently to the structure of the wine. Blackcurrant flavours show a dominance on the aftertaste.
Impression:This wine offers a wonderful, full-mouth feel and delivers a luscious, velvety finish.
