Bouquet
Black cherry and plum fruit flavours layered with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg,
dark chocolate and hints of sage and fennel seed.
Palate
The full flavoured palate has flavours of plums, black cherries and raspberries, with liquorice and creamy vanilla filling out the mid palate. The wine finishes with great balance and elegance, and is characterised by rich dark chocolate, toasty caramel oak and vibrant, youthful grape tannins. These tannins give the wine excellent length and will become richer and soften as the wine ages, although the seamless integration of oak tannins means the wine is approachable while young.
