Matured in 1-4 year old French and American oak barrels for 18 months. Impenetrable inky black heart with a vibrant dark red black hue. Ripe blackberry and liquorice aromas escape from the glass followed by some cassis, red currant, light earth and spicy vanillin cedar notes. Juicy blackberry, liquorice and red currant fruits fill the mouth.
This wine showcases raspberry and cherry fruit, with a silky mid palate of vanilla, plums and dark chocolate, while the balanced acid and youthful tannins give the wine vibrancy, length and definition.
