Very deep, almost opaque purple colour with a bluish tinge. Spicy red and black fruit aromas supported by strong bramble type characters on initial nose. Prune, plum and ripe dark cherry follow with a backing of rich fruit cake, spice and sweet vanilla. Big, full well rounded mouth with satin smooth flow across the palate yet distinct but supple tannin undertone. Beautifully integrated oak. Grows in the mouth. Already showing good complexity but has lots more development to come. Great balance with classy elegance.
The perfect wine for game fish, all red meats and cheese.
