    Dark, delving, deep, bright and black voluminous purple. Freshly shaved dark and bitter chocolate and also dark liqueur chocolate aromas; then from the field come laurel leaves, sage still soft not hard, lemon thyme, aniseed, fresh black pepper, and raspberries and blueberries just coated by a morning rain shower. Tension. Bright berry and plum fruits and freshness and clean acidity that combine to compel the driving-bell depth of fruit to sit upright and well-postured. This fruit flavour is at once both ripe and savoury, giving and yet formal. These flavours combine lock-and-step with the fluffy tannins to make for a mouth-coating, charismatic glass of red wine. It finishes dry and clean with the berry and plum fruit flavours intertwined with rolling tannins.

      • "This has attractive aromas of fresh cranberries and red plums with a streak of leafy and herbal notes. The palate has very ripe red-berry flavors in a soft bed of tannin and some milk chocolate at the finish. Easy. " James Suckling
