Nose
Plum, chocolate, aniseed, redcurrant, violets, baking spices and menthol a fair riot of richness and perfume here.
Palate
Medium to full bodied, lovely sweet uptake of mainly small red berry and plum fruit, tobacco and chocolaty oak, and these delightfully firm open knit gravelly tannins laying down the bass. Acidity is spot on, and drives a path through the succulent fruit. Finish is savoury, redcurrant laced, long and dusted with chalky tannin.
