Complex nose with aroma of coffee, confectionary, spice, cedar, blackcurrant, liquorice, earth and spice.The palate is mouthfilling, with blackcurrant cedar and spice flavours to the forefront. Excellent spice and black pepper end palate flavours, with just a hint of tea leaf. Very fine tannin structure- velvet smooth. Perfect balance, with very long blackcurrant, cedar, liquorice and spice aftertaste. Cellar 2-3 years.
