This wine has a full powerful nose that shouts raisins, plums, dried fruit and Christmas brandy pudding. On the palate it is big and muscular with a strong tannin and alcohol grip. Lots of intense high concentration fruit flavors that ad to the complexity of the wine. A long full, dry finish that you can still feel in your stomach a hour after.
