The nose is intense and entices with its redcurrant, ripe dark plum, black cherry and fruitcake aromas with whiffs of vanilla, baking spices and incense. The palate shows more dark fruit with flavours of brambles, boysenberry, blackberry and blueberry and a touch of violets. The wine is mediumbodied, smooth and balanced with cocoa powdery tannins. Dark chocolate and hints of garrigue lingers on a classic finish.
